New Radio Shows
We have received
so many emails asking when we might have be putting up some
new shows. A lack of money and a proper audio server have
been our biggest obstacles toto slot. We are very
pleased to have recently received some funding from Odyssey Records
of Illinois to produce a few more shows. We will be working
on those in the next little while so stay tuned for some new
shows in the near future...
Our streaming
server has been experiencing ongoing problems and this has caused
a delay in producing any new shows slot88. We hope to be able to
find a better solution shortly. If anyone out there
has a streaming server and would like to help us out, we
would love to hear from you!
Thanks to you
all for your continued support. We hope you enjoy the new
album!
Cheers,
The Cape Breton Live crew

By Dan MacDonald, The Cape Breton Post
The
Celtic music world received another blow this past week with
the passing of Mary Jessie MacDonald, aged 78. Born and raised in New
Waterford, with roots deep in Mabou Coal Mines, she was
revered by fiddlers and music fans in general.
She lived and worked most of her life in the Boston area,
where she built up a much deserved reputation as a pianist
with a wonderful touch, an impressive command of the
keyboard and a vast knowledge of the tunes.
Her performances on her visits to Cape Breton were much
anticipated and getting the chance to sit in on a session
where she was playing was a special occasion indeed. Celtic
music was much stronger by her presence and much saddened by
her passing.

Cape Breton ranks 10th
on best islands list
By The
Canadian Press
SYDNEY —
Cape Breton Island has caught the attention of National
Geographic Traveler magazine again, tying for 10th in the
publication's world's best islands rankings. It shares the
honour with Corsica (France).
A total of
111 islands and archipelagos were ranked in six categories
including environmental and ecological quality and cultural
integrity.
The
Destinations Rated feature examined islands as appealing
places that are often prone to tourism overkill. With 100
being the best score for avoiding that danger, Cape Breton
scored 75.
Cape
Breton is no stranger to tourism accolades from the
magazine. It placed second on a scorecard of more than 100
of the worlds greatest destinations in 2004.
