I agree, Ray is a really cool guy. He even came out after the Boston show on Sat, and shook our hands, ok..granted there was a small group of pretty young girls..that may have helped  Smiley

As for the drum sticks, at Thurs night show..he actually threw the sticks into the crowd...I was just hoping he didnt hit an older couple who may not have..been...expecting it  Grin Grin Grin

Nicky remindes me of a leprechaun.

Oh, he'll be really thrilled to hear that!!! Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

One reason is.....Leprechauns in Irish mythology are solitary, unloveable spirits, always trying to outwit humans.

The main reason is the following, which I took from Wikipedia:

"Many Irish people find the popularised image of a leprechaun to be little more than a series of offensive Irish stereotypes and a trivialisation of Ireland's rich and ancient culture.
The stereotypical image of a leprechaun bedecked in green is particularly strong in the United States".

I think both percussionists are key elements to the show.  Note that they are featured in several numbers.  Seeing the show live gave me a brand new perspective and appreciation of their role in CW.

Oh I see? Thanks for telling me that. I like to be corrected at times when I am dumb like that.

In other news. Ray's cousin joined the other CW forum. The link is http://www.celticwomanmusicloversfansite.com/phpBB2/index.php

Her username is Robynski and she does not mind answering any questions about Ray.

I was watching the ANJ DVD last night and the drum solo during Mo ghile mear (sp..LOL) is absolutely phenomenal!! Those guys are incredible. I love drums and anything with lots of rhythm, so it's right up my street Smiley

I'm thrilled to see that so many people like Ray and appreciate him for the pure talent and wonderful person that he is.  He is my First cousin and he is truly a great guy. I have pictures with myself and Ray, Nicky and others. Just not sure how to post them?? I saw the show twice this year, once in Chicago (where we hung out with Ray and the rest of the cast for two days) and again in Toronto. Ray and I email and call back and forth all the time. He's the best, as are all the members of Celtic Woman  Smiley

Welcome to the forum.

Now all first cousins are privy to certain information about their relatives,  we of course would love to hear tidbits.  Grin Just kidding of course.

The guys are great and you must be proud of Ray.  Naturally I watched them on the DVDs and saw them in Tempe. they definitely look like they are having fun. of course working with the CW ladies has to be fantastic.

Maybe you can get him to visit here.

You're right, I would have to say I am privy to "certain" information  Wink and yes, I am VERY proud of Ray  Grin, both in his profession and the great person he is.

thanks

Welcome to the forum, Robynski!  It's so good to have you here.  I haven't met Ray personally, but from all accounts he's a generous man.  And we all know how talented he is!  Would you mind passing on to him how fabulous we all think he is?  I hope he's getting a small chance to relax and unwind since they're back home, but I suppose the Christmas filming is coming up soon, so that may not be the case. 

To help you post your pictures, here is an excerpt from one of Rich's (OldFatGuy) posts explaining how to do it.  Any pictures you'd like to share would be most welcome!

Directions for posting pictures on the forum or in Private Messages (PMs):

1.  Sign up for a free account with a web-based photo sharing service (e.g. http://www.fotki.com/us/, http://photobucket.com/, etc.)
2.  Upload your photo(s)/image(s) to your new account.
3.  Select the photo or image that you want to post.
4.  Copy the entire web address for that image.
5.  In your forum post or PM, insert the following line:
     [*img]http://address.you.copied.in.step.4[*/img] but REMOVE the asterisks (*).  (I only put them in to display the code.)
6.  Click on the Preview button, and your image should show up, like this:
     
7.  If it shows up okay, click the "Post" button.
