During the late 80s and early 90s, my mother had a cassette of amazing Celtic harp music. They were traditional songs, ones you’d recognize at Irish cultural events. We would listen to it in the car wherever we’d go.
She passed away of breast cancer in 1996, and somewhere in the scuffle afterwards, my family lost track of the tape. I was a young kid when all this happened, and though I couldn’t fully recall the title, I remembered and loved every song. We had been looking for it ever since whenever we’ve gone to specialty Irish stores, but have never found it. After a dozen years, I finally found it after some intense Google searching. I am very grateful to Bob and Evelyn McNally, who sent me a free copy of the CD after I told them how much it meant to me!

Thank you!!! If it were not for this blog I would never have found it myself!!!
This cassette also means so much to me as I would listen to it when I was young and drift into never never land. I lost the original but found a second hand copy recently which brought be back to Celtic dreamland but accidentally recorded over half of it since I am not used to the tape player on my stereo! I have also searched for it on the internet and feared that I would not find it…but Alas! Here it is. Thank You so much for posting this!
