A sneak peek track from the forthcoming "Beauty Thunders" - Nov. 16, 2016. This track features Murray Kyle on harmony vocals, Laura Targett on fiddle and Guy Madigan on Bodhrán.

Traditional Scottish strathspey & reel, passed to me by Mary Jane Lamond  of Cape Breton. 
Traditionally performed faster and faster until all of the musicians and dancers fall over. 

Ciamar a nì mi 'n dannsa dìreach
How can I make a tidy dance

Ciamar a nì mi 'n ruidhle bòidheach
How can I dance a bonny reel

Ciamar a nì mi 'n dannsa dìreach
How can I make a tidy dance

Dh'fhalbh a' phrìn' a chuir air chlì mi
The pin went and that put me astray

Dh'fhalbh a' phrìn' ás bonn mo chòta
The pin went from the hem of my coat

Lyrics & music by Peia. Featuring Cye Wood Viola/Cello
Thunder swept the mountain side, the day you left the village my love. 
T’was a full moon May night.
And I remembered the time by the great riverside, when you taught me to dance, to dance in the storm.
We had come from many a land, a great distance.
 All in search of the spirit, laid with longing far too long. 
Up the mountain we climbed, though the wind’s song was wild, to where the sacred wheel was laid and the fire burned on. 
❧
As we called them one by one, North, South, East and West. 
Oh this stirring in my breast! Is it you blue hummingbird?
You were my blue hummingbird. Called by the nectar of my flowering heart.
Oh you could not linger long. 
But I remember the time by the great riverside when you taught me to dance, to dance in the storm. 
Water came down from the heavens above. She stung and bit our tender skin. 
Some ran for shelter, but we held the circle strong. 
 Though the storm raged on, and the night grew so long... 
Soon came a clearing in the sky, pierced by the full moonlight. 

‘Machi, Machi Machi Ma
Machi cura, Machi sana
Machi canta me una nana’

 You were my blue humming bird. 
Called by the nectar of my flowering heart, 
oh you could not linger long. 
And I remember the time by the great riverside, 
when you taught me to dance, to dance in the storm.

Poem by Adi Al Riga:

I was sleeping, and being comforted
by a cool breeze, when suddenly a gray dove
from a thicket sang and sobbed with longing, 
and reminded me of my own passion.

I had been away from my own soul so long,
so late sleeping, but that dove's crying
woke me and made me cry. Praise
to all early-waking grievers!

Praise, to all early waking grievers

Recorded Live at Seven Seeds Farm June 20012 - Rajasthani Folk Song-  about a bird who is watching the honey bees making love to the flowers and the mangoes so ripe and juicy, they are falling from the tree and telling of the coming Monsoon
