But how many of you have heard Loreena McKennitt sing it?

I have. It's wonderful, she's wonderful! The Highwayman is my favorite Loreena McKennitt song. This one, below, that I did for Amy's Place back in February is another of Loreena's songs that I love.

Thanks for posting the Highwayman, fewz. The poem has special meaning to me and Loreena's beautiful rendition brings it to life.

fewz, I skimmed through first and then read it clearly and slowly. When I heard the song by Loreena McKennitt, oh how I appreciated it! Thank you so much!

Good morning, MEG. Doesn’t Loreena have a hauntingly beautiful voice? I have a couple of her CD’s. I think she is not as widely known here as she is in Canada.

Hi Lori, Didn’t get the “below one”....seemed like something tried to come through and then vanished.

Happy Monday Morning!

Good morning, jaycee. I have missed you and all my friends at Amy's Place. I see you on facebook occasionally, but it's not the same as being able to visit here at AP.

I am hoping to be able to reintroduce myself today to everyone who is probably thinking, "who is this MamaBear person? Do we know her?" LOL.

Sometimes it takes awhile for these large music files to download, even with a high speed connection. It probably looked like it had hung up/vanished, but it was still downloading in the background. That sometimes happens on my computer too.

That’s a good one too. It’s on the same album with The Highwayman and Best Buy has that album so I’m going to get a copy. I haven’t heard her before, I missed that post back in February, but I like her singing.

I agree. Back when I was a engineer, I got to work on some interesting projects but now I mow lawns, vacuum, mop, clean, wash clothes & dishes, and cook along with doing other chores of opportunity.

The wind was a torrent of darkness
among the gusty trees,
The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed
upon cloudy seas,
The road was a ribbon of moonlight,
over the purple moor,
And the highwayman came riding-
Riding-riding-
The highwayman came riding, up to the
old inn-door.

I don’t think she is real well known here, not as well known as she is in Canada, where she is from. I had assumed she was from Ireland or thereabouts, when I first heard her Celtic music, but (according to Wikipedia) she was born in Manitoba to an Irish mother and Scottish father. Her songs seem to have either a Celtic or a middle eastern feel to them. I think she has a beautiful voice.
