The World of BLOG!
BLOG BLOG BLOG....this is all I've been hearing about for months. I guess it is time I start getting into this as well! At first,
I was a little uncomfortable with the idea of writing blogs. Now, I realize it is not so bad. I've been reading blogs from two people
I have high respect for in the music industry and I am learning a lot from them both. Therefore, I have started my own blog. I hope it
will get better with time and that I blog about things that people will enjoy. So I'm asking you all to let me know if there were something
you would like me to blog about in particular. Send me emails or respond to my posts. Here is a link to my
blog: www.mybloglines.com/blog/sheltonmusic where you can read and post replies. I have a link to the left where you can
subscribe to bloglines
free and it will inform you when I have posted a new blog. Happy Blogging!

Connecting with others online
Recently I've starting spending more time visiting Celtic Music sites online. I used to never have time for this, but I decided I wanted to
set aside time to explore what is out there in our world endless amounts of information. I had the good fortune to meet the man behind the
CelticMP3s.com website. His name is Marc Gunn, a Celtic musician himself, and he really has a great
site full of music and reviews AND encouraging other Celtic musicians to get their music heard. I feel very
fortunate to have run across his site. After all, we are very much aware of how much junk is on the internet and
finding the good stuff is like finding a needle in a haystack. Well, take it from me, Celticmp3s.com is the good stuff. Check it out!

St. Andrew's Society of São Paulo
Jennifer was honored by being asked to sing at the Robbie Burns dinner in São Paulo on February 16.
"The St.Andrew Society of São Paulo, founded in 1924, is a non-profit organization made up of Scots,
people of Scottish descent, and others of all nationalities who are friends of Scotland"
This event was one of the best Burn's dinners Jennifer has ever attended. The evening began with the
Grand March while a tremendous Piper, Cristiano played Scotland the Brave. With Ceilidh dances, the immortal memory,
music, The Address to the Haggis, plenty of food, plenty of whiskey,
The toast to the lassies and the reply (which was brilliant); the event was full of celebration and tradition.
