artist index in menu.
SHEEBA RECORDS: Jane Siberry (I got this one from Patrick Chapman — see side panel — who is a fan. Patrick tells me she was in Dublin recently. Check out her great way of distributing her work).
Salon Directory

Online Etymology Dictionary
“This is a map of the wheel-ruts of modern English. Etymologies are not definitions; they’re explanations of what our words meant and how they sounded 600 or 2,000 years ago.”
RTÉ Libraries and Archives: preserving a unique record of Irish life. (I mentioned this one before, but it’s worth mentioning again).
Enjoy.
