Lessee, listen to an Enya album...get a root canal. Enya....root canal.
Let's analyze...

Both will take about the same amount of time out of my life that will never
be recovered.

I get a shot to reduce the misery that will ensue over the next 50 minutes
for the root canal. No such courtesy is extended for the Enya listen.

I get an Rx for a narcotic pain reliever to address the lingering effect of
the root canal. Once again, no such consideration offered for the Enya
"music" still rattling around in my head. In fact, I'll probably have to
listen to some really obnoxious heavy metal just to purge her.

The root canal actually fixes a problem that needed to be addressed. Enya
didn't address anything. I could have put in a Steely Dan or Mark Knopfler
CD to properly address a music jones.

I can tell my buddies over beers about the root canal. It's a common
experience we've all shared. Probably best not to mention the Enya thing.

Insurance will reimburse me for the root canal. I'm out twelve bucks for
the Enya CD.

LOL!

A man goes to an oral surgeon to have a tooth extracted. The dentist
takes out a syringe to give the man a shot. “No way! No needles! I
hate needles,” the patient said.

The dentist starts to hook up the laughing gas and the man objects. “I
can’t do the gas thing. The thought of having the gas mask on is
suffocating to me!”

The dentist then asks the patient if he has any objection to taking a
pill. “No objection,” the patient says. “I’m fine with pills.”

The dentist then returns and says, “Here’s a Viagra tablet.”

The patient says, “Wow – I didn’t know Viagra worked as a pain
killer!”

“It doesn’t” said the dentist, “but it will give you something to
hold onto when I pull your damn tooth!”

Enya's cool, but if you want "celtic" look for some early Steeleye
span.

I prefer Máire Ní Bhraonáin and Ciarán Ó Braonáin from Clannad. Of
course, I buy their CDs, or download them from a "pay" site. I don't
steal them from alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.celtic. There are now some
legit sites that have low prices and pay the owners of the intellectual
property.

Most of the Celtic stuff I'm not too wild about. Enya isn't even close
to most of the stuff posted over there.

Robin Williamson, Richard Green, Clannad, Kim Robertson, Celtic Moods,
Steve Coulter, The Corries, Saw Doctors, John Herberman, etc., are
some of the folks over there now.

You ain't a kiddin'! and the guy (Rick Kemp) who is their/ her
bassist is one of the finest I've ever heard.

I am really fascinated by the work he does on "Mother and Child".
BTW, he does it with an electric fretless instead of an upright, and
it's the only instrument on the track.

His harmonics and tonal work is fabulous.
