if you had to pick two musical artists vibes to describe your vibe, who would you choose?
Hmm…I’ll admit I’m stuck on the meaning of vibes…like my vibes musically? What I listen too near always? Or like…my vibes as a person? Hmm…in any case this is tricky. There’s so many awesome artists…a few years ago I’d probably say the Dubliners…or the High Kings but I’m not sure that’s the case. Love Wagakki band….but their vibes and my vibes are not comparable…hmm…David Coffin maybe? No…love his vibes but…damn it Pax this is hard. An excellent question mind you but a hard one. Hmmm just two? Can I pick three? Please? Three is a good number all that cultural backing…with like fairytales or what not…no? Alright …two. Two….Fuck man. Uh…
Okay…
Owain Phyfe (and by extension the New World Renaissance band).
….Oh I’m stuck on this one. Gaelic storm? No…Great Big Sea? Great Big Sea is good…but then again….there’s also Silly Wizard. The name alone, and it being a folk group. Hmm…Great Big Sea or Silly Wizard….this is a conundrum. You’re sure I can’t pick three? Right…well I suppose given the insistence of a number of friend I’m secretly a Wizard and I do love their music and Andy M. Stewart has one of the most beautiful voices there are…I suppose I’d say Silly Wizard as the second….with Great Big Sea as a very close third!!
Man this was tricky. Really had to think on this one….I hope that answers your question sufficiently. If not feel free to ask another question.
as a bonus some of the songs of the two or three groups mentioned.
Owain Phyfe
For she has come down
To condemn that wild ocean
For the murderous loss of her man.
His boat sailed out on Wednesday morning,
And it's feared she's gone down
With all hands...
An experiment with painting, inspired by the excellent folk song The Fisherman’s Song by Silly Wizard. This is my first ‘real’ attempt at painting a full scene; I’m quite pleased with the results, particularly with the water here.
