Seven Nations is an excellent Celtic Rock band from the U.S. They've changed "pipers" over the years, but Scott Long, and their previous piper, Neil Anderson, are both excellent. Check them out!
Seven Nations are very good. Went to Houston on a Saturday morning in which St. Patrick's Day was being celebrated. While having lunch and looking through the paper to see what events were going on and read that Seven Nations was playing t hat day at some small venue. So my girlfriend and I went to see them, we were both very impressed. Who knows, Ashley Maclsaac may of been playing with them. What an awesome weekend!

Electric hooligan music.
Me likey!
Me likey!
Such a good album. Thanks for the introduction Radio Paradise!
Oh dear.
Just saw the Red Hot Chili Pipers in Manchester NH. Great show. This is reminding me of that show of obviously reasons.

The liner notes say it's someone named Scott Long. A bit of Googling indicates that he's also played in a band called Seven Nations.
I've never heard them before, but you're inspired me to do so, because I agree that the pipes are brilliant here.

That's one of the reasons this album is so wonderful. MacIsaac was willing to surround himself by talented people and sometimes take a backseat to them, even though it was his name on the album. MacIassac's talent as a fiddler is what brought them all together, but the album feels very much like a group effort.

This guy's a fiddler; who's the brilliant piper on this?

Your tale is not exactly a ringing endorsement of the pay-for-play US health care system. Basically what you're saying is that if you can afford to pay for your health care, you get decent service, and if you're forced to receive "charity" health care, you get shit service.
I live in one of those leftist-socialist countries with nationalized health care, and I have to tell you, I've never waited 16 hours in a hospital for anything, not even to get a prescription filled on the weekend, not even when more ill/injured people got bumped ahead of me in the line. Ironically, I know a woman who moved here from the US, and who subsequently got pregnant. She DID have to pay for her health care here, and she told me that the cost of health care in the US is 10 TIMES the cost of what it is here...what's wrong with that picture? So-called free-market health care will never be adequate for the patient because in an unregulated system, the providers have the patients by the short-and-curlies -- pay up, or you die.
You're not quite right about several points here, but I'm not going to address it, cuz a music station just isn't the place to do it. I f you want to debate politics with another poster you can do it via private message which is an option here. Let's keep it to the music,OK?
Thanks.

Quality care if one has insurance. But then you have to pray that the insurance will actually pay rather than stiff you with the bill, and leave you facing bankruptcy and foreclosure. If it works for you, its a great system, if not.... Well let's just say that's why we have the highest infant mortality rates and lowest life expectancy in the industrialized world.
to paraphrase:
"We have the worst system in the world for health care, until you are forced to use a different system"
I got G.E. while not covered. Yeah it was damn pricey and I'm still paying for it. But unlike what the leftist who want to use far worse systems like to claim, I was neither turned away, nor was any expense spared due to me not having insurance. Those who go to Bankruptcy and get Foreclosed are not lost because of the health care cost. It is usually due to lost work time and lack of planning on their part.
I used to live in N.O. and made nearly nothing. No insurance and none available through my part time job. Charity Hospital was just a few minutes away, but I chose to use regular hospitals and clinics and pat them off over time instead of sitting for hours on end and waiting for "free care". Sitting for 6 hours with a sick girl freind (forced to use Charity as a ward of the state and just turned 18 the provided insurance no longer covered her although she was not allowed to leave the state home until graduation) reinforced this as:
A: she had been there for 11 hours before I found out she was there. the 6 I was with her made a fine 17 hour visit time...heh.
B: almost 5 of those hours was sitting behind a lady having chest pains and eating Nitro pills like they were Tic Tacs. She was called just before Milady was and the daughter came out shortly after and told the rest of the waiting family that the Doc said it was another heart attack and this one was slightly less severe than the last one. almost 6 hours waited before seeing a Doc for a patient with a history of attacks, because she was coherent and not doing the Redd Foxx attack shtick.
That is what awaits us in any socialized system. We have them now(VA,and state run Free Clinics like Charity and Houma in Louisiana, the several here in DFW, etc...) and they don't work well. What makes anyone think making it all that way would be better?
A.M. can pull his weight with the best of them - old-timers while playing traditional ditties, hip-hop artists, and on and on.
Awesome!
Hey, you know, I think that Bill is a closet Canadian.
F-f-f-f-fuh-fuh-reaky c-c-over, man - s-s-s-even for that alone.

Of course, the left here thinks we should run things like Canada...Adscam and bankrupting medical systems are a far better deal than silly things like low taxes, low unemployment, growing economies, and quality care when one needs it as opposed to when the govt decides to pay for it.....

Hey RP, where's the Bad Haggis?
Love it! 
Partly his fault partly the industry. They used him to make a buck and he turned to drugs. Great musician though...He needs to go back to his first album, and start again from there.

Talented, Like the music, unfortunatly, he's a jerk. He played at Mabon in Lyons, Colorado a few years ago and insutled the audience all night. We were agape with astonishment as he berated all of america and it's citizens. Not even Iraqui natives would say the things he said.

(And following it with Philip Glass? Also too cool.)
hmmmmmmmm
above quote from 1020,
this post from 1118 aslo has McIsaac followed by glass. Repeating some playlists again RP?

Sounds a lot like many of the new Scottish bands yet yer man lives in Canada, though Cape Breton is a known Celtic heartland. Good stuff.
Gee... This is different. And I like it! Another good toe-tapper.
wow. this really moves! Stirs my scottish roots....
This was my favourite album when I was about 16! It's a brilliant combination of rock and East Coast Canadian fiddling! 
... Just Love It! ...
He wants to be the head of the federal Liberal party here in Canada.He should just stick to music.
This reminds me of an old radio commercial that featured "The Clashing Plaids" as a fusion Scottish Hip-Hop Alternative rock band. Pretty cool.

Thank you, JohnErle!!!
Celtic that rocks! Now let's follow it up with a little Off Kilter or Flogging Molly.
(I'm very fond of Ashley's "Lay Me Down," which is a delicate Celtic love song that rocks out in the chorus.)
I like celt stuff.
