It has been MANY years since I was running & gunning with the unbelieveable LEAHY clan, but now that I'm in my 80th year, I happened onto this video of their families in concert, and while watching I couldn't help but weep like a baby for all the precious memories that burst forth in remembrance of this extraordinarily talented group of musicians & dancers who have soooo magnificently represented not only Canadian music and clogging, but also how a family in this country can lovingly represent a belief that "The group that plays together, stays together...!!!" I'm sorry to hear that the "Original Leahys" (Mom & Dad) are no longer with us, but from the look of things performance-wise they are beaming with pride from their heavenly rest stations at how wonderful and truly accomplished their family has become...!!!
I always loved the Christmas show you did in Markham (quite a number of years ago now) when your littles were involved, it was lovely. How precious to have that memory with your mom and dad..........what a blessing!
You should be talking to Dr. Anna Beresford who is an alumni of Our Lady Seat of Wisdom College, Barry's Bay. She recently, Dec. 5th, gave a Zoom lecture for the College's "Alumni in Academics" Lecture series. Her topic was: "A pattern language of Celtic traditional music and dance for social, economic, and ecological regeneration."
