Interesting detail; Joanne and several others made the trip in an ancient boat.. Joanne was also voted 'Best Female Vocalist' in the UK's Classic Rock Society's annual polls. Iona has announced a sabbatical year, during which there will be no touring. One of the reasons is the family expansion from various members. Iona does plan to make a welcome return to the stage in 1999 with a prestigious London concert. More info on that as we get it.

Recently, the subject of sacred versus secular music choices, and specifically "backwards masking", was discussed on the Iona list. I found the resurfacing and discussion of the issue stimulating. In the mid-1980s, I was on a team which executed a study for the Christian Broadcasting Network's "700 Club" program on backwards masking. The results of this study are both suprising and challenging. I'd like to offer my personal summary to anyone who would to care to E-Mail me privately (at the reguest of our gracious listserve operator, Walter).

I'm definitely interested to hear more. Thanks. Welcome to the list, Samantha! First an apology and pointing out a minor mistake on my part which has been propagating. It is "Celtic Expressions of Worship" and not "Celtic Expressions of Faith". Sorry folks! I wrote a review of the 2nd album by C.E.O.W. which is available on the Net at John Kreuz' site "BIG Music". John sells all of the Iona and related CDs, including C.E.O.W. vol I an II. Visit his site to read the review of "The King of Love" and you will get a pretty good idea of what to expect. Here's the address: http://www.glasscity.net/users/bigmusic/ Once there, look for the section on Celtic Expressions of Worship, and click on "review by Dennis Reulbach". There are a couple of other reviews there as well, including insider notes by Dave Fitzgerald on his latest album "Lux Aeterna". After reading that, if you have any more questions about them, Email me.

I agree that the celtic influence does lend itself well to Christmas music (consider Enya's moving version of "Silent Night" sung in Irish) but there is a difference between a celtic Christmas album and an album from a celtic influenced band... Besides, it smacks of crass commercialism. >But I doubt it'll happen...few "bands" release solely Christmas albums. With good reason: they'd only be played for a couple of weeks a year. That's why Christmas singles are much more popular: they have a short play life anyway. Now a compilation album; hmmm....

I'm so glad you've gotten to see Iona live, too. Too many Americans have missed their few engagements over here. A year and a half ago, I got to see them live, two days in a row at Cornerstone '96. The first show, on the 4th of July, was just fantabulous. It was outside, in the open air....as Troy (is that the piper? Pardon me if I get the names confused.) was playing "The Star Spangled Banner" on his uillean pipes (or was it bagpipes?) suddenly, fireworks began to go off--no one knew they were going to shoot fireworks there. It was so awesome--absolutely spectacular. (I may have gotten the song mixed up--for all I know, they were playing something else....but they did play TSSB, and that's when I recall the fireworks going off, and that memory makes me happy! :-) -- can anyone else tell me if I'm right about the tune the fireworks went off in the middle of?) The second night they played under a big tent and I have to say, it was one of the most amazing spiritual experiences of my life. I was pleased as peaches that they sang "Revelation", as it's one of my (many) favorite songs. Joanne said that it had been a couple of years since they had played that song and Troy (the piper--forgive me again if I got his name wrong--I don't play close attention to names and stuff) had never played it ever before. But you couldn't tell. It was amazing. At one point, during "Encircling", Joann was saying the words "I pact unto myself the power of God" over and over (which don't appear on Journey into the Morn) and I opened my eyes, and my friend next to me was kneeling on the ground, absolutely prostrate before God. It was an experience I'll never forget. Right before Iona played that night, The Crossing played, so it was definitely a God-anointed Celtic music night under the big-top. ~~~Samantha, the Reminiscing One ______________ To unsubscribe send an e-mail command to musictus@musictus.com In the body of the message type ONLY the following: unsubscribe iona or visit http://www.gospel.it/iona/mailingl.html ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 5 Dec 1997 10:06:04 +0100 From: B1BLancer Subject: Re: iona Re: Chat room now on ICQ!!! . _ _ _ |(_)| )(_| mailto:musictus@musictus.com Discussion List http://www.gospel.it/iona/ _______________ > Another "new guy"... > How would I get to the chat room from AOL??
