BArb,

Besides the fact that it wasn't Riverdance music, I thought you might 
enjoy knowing that the name of the piece we played as the wakeup 
music was "An Griandán" which means Horse With A Heart, by the artist 
Altan (Ireland) from Horse With A Heart on Green Linnet Records 
(1095) from 1995.  It's also available on the Celtic Tides collection 
from one of my favorite labels, Putmayo.

Glad you enjoyed it.  We picked it out as the best of my little 
collection while driving to 20 Mule Team in Feb.

I did get a chuckle at the folks at the ride, who thought that I'm 
Irish, because of the Riverdance theme and my red hair/freckles. 
Nope, 100% Russian, though I will agree to having the "luck o' the 
Irish" when it came to this year's ride weather.  The ride was named 
after the Arundo twisty/windies, which make you laugh as you rip 
through them, in harmony with your horse.
