Irish Flute Gone Fusion

[Steve Bliven]

Beltane was/is an equinox festival, not a solstice one. The spring equinox, I believe.

According to Wikipedia, source of all knowledge, Beltane is, "...the Gaelic name for either the month of May or the festival that takes place on first day of May. ...

"... In Neopaganism, Bealtaine is considered a cross-quarter day, marking the midpoint in the Sun's progress between the spring equinox and summer solstice. The astronomical date for this midpoint is closer to 5 May or 7 May, but this can vary from year to year."

Best wishes for Beltane, whichever date you choose (or chose).

Thanks for the correction-correction, Steve. I wasn't in a position to look it up or would have before posting. Knew it definitely wasn't solstice.

I think I will call my band Con Fusion
because our music is inspired by the phantastic summer equinox sunsets.
I also played small bansuri a bit because my wife and I lived and worked in Australia for many years ......

I thought Beltane was May Day...maybe not (no pun intended...or maybe so).
