Though I've had some bad experiences with lost packages and weeks of playing email ping pong with their customer service (note that calling the customer service in the US would probably cost me more than the books + shipping, so email was all I had). There's a whole <A HREF="http://bakho.livejournal.com/13268.html" REL="nofollow">post</A> about that evilness of Amazon at the LJ (if you're interested in the frustrations that are created by shipments traveling across the globe...) That post only mentions the beginning of the happy Amazon story. Afterward, my package managed to get lost somewhere in transit, and they were out of stock so the replacement would be sent literally after a month. More aggravated email ping pong ensued, and I got my copies in a matter of weeks.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the recommendations!<BR/><BR/>And thanks for the comment about the pics! I'm the worst photographer in the history of the world, with shaky hands and always missing the good stuff for a split second (like I missed the whole tram in that pic at the *ahem* tram station o.O). But yea, that foggy street pic is kinda eerie...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-59636672046533567212009-04-03T00:58:00.000-05:002009-04-03T00:58:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.nocurlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585409049948027881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-68636746023583796912009-04-03T00:55:00.000-05:002009-04-03T00:55:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.nocurlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585409049948027881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-90279815708373238362009-04-02T17:04:00.000-05:002009-04-02T17:04:00.000-05:00Oops, Bakho, I suddenly realized that you're in Cr...Oops, Bakho, I suddenly realized that you're in Croatia - I honestly don't know if Amazon ships to you or not, so my previous comment may not be a lot of use. Sorry. And BTW, love the pictures on your LJ page - especially the foggy one of your street.

I'm partial to reels and this one is particularly excellent.

Her two best known songs in the states are "the Mummer's Dance" and "The Highwayman" (not the Johnny Cash song, an Irish poem adapted to song, horribly tragic as are most Celtic poems). Both songs are on youtube.Jim Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11259550121437562338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-55546360033500602412009-04-02T14:05:00.000-05:002009-04-02T14:05:00.000-05:00I was on a bit of a Celtic music kick in high scho...I was on a bit of a Celtic music kick in high school, yeah, I know, I'm a nerd. <BR/><BR/>I hadn't heard her before, though.
