THE MUSIC: ARWEN AND THE GAEL!
We call our music Celtic/Eclectic and when our vocalist Arwen joined the group, she took it to a new level. Her songs range from Sheryl Crow and Loreena McKennitt, to an old Russian cabaret song, and some traditional Celtic songs as well. Our new show is kind of like the Colorado weather: if you hear something you don’t like, the next tune will likely be different.
There are some new non-Celtic tunes in the set we will play at The Carousel, and we kept a few of our favorite uptempo jigs and reels. Everyone in the group brings in new songs and tunes to add to our ever-changing repertoire.

Vintage Kiddie Merry-Go-Round
Description: This 1953 Bert Lane Musical Merry-Go-Round is portable with wheels. It originally cost a dime to ride. When the dime dropped, a 45 rpm record would drop and play music. We have gone over this little two-horse machine, and cleaned and inspected the mechanism. We have replaced the tube-type amp and turntable with a solid state music maker. The Bert 
Lane Co. made several types of portable rides such as this throughout the 1950s in Miami, Florida.
