I like the jazzy atmosphere and the jolly mood here. Very nice one. I don't understand why I missed this one.
Very good job, Michael!

This was a HUGE Hit of the 2014 CBC St. Patrick's Day Song Challenge. And also a BIG Hit on the SouncClick Jazz Charts! As you know, JBBQ loves Jazz - and this is as good as Jazz comes. BTY - as a general note, Michael,
it was most fitting that you had three songs for the LAST
CBC Song Challenge - as you were one of only three musicians who had songs for the very FIRST CBC Song
Challenge (also with a song theme of Celtic/Irish). YOU,
Michael, were one of the original Coconut Blues Club members, and your song contributions on CBC (and elsewhere) have always been FANTASTIC with the Best of Best Musicianship ever to be found in the World of Music.
Thank YOU and Always Best Wishes,
Bob (and the JBBQ "Guys")

WOW Michael, excellent arrangement and performances, the Irish (Celtic) flavor expressed elegantly by the melody with the sax and flute lines, liked the pizzicatos so much in this one. The jazzy intro going into celtic shapes was wonderfully realized, fantastic.
Great mix between Jazz and Celtic, yes "Celtic-Cool"! Great....!! :-)

Diggin' this one with the walkin' bass and the
Irish theme combined for some super sounding
music. Yes, you've been busy!

Wow...blown away by the production and sound of this track! Never heard a sax play a Celtic melody line over a jazzy backer before - inspirational musicianship!! Love the way the strings bridge the two styles. Amazing piece of music.

Great job balancing the Irish themes and the jazz feel. You certainly don't hear that every day!

Oh my god, Michael. I just found out, that you have managed to make 3 whole songs for the challenge. Someone's been busy!This is a cool, jazzy tune with smooth sax tones, that though plyed on keyboard, you manage to play so that it sounds like the real thing. Very nice, bouncy tune. Uplifting music.

You were busy this challenge Michael ;^)) Nice jazzy flare presented here - as crisp as a lucky charm!
The most classy Celtic song that I have heard , yet. Nice percussion, and you have played all instruments with such an epic fashion, blending Celtic style with your jazz and classical musical abilities as well. Truly brilliant.
