    Need Some Help, Wild Mountain Heather

    My lady lives down on the Hopi reservation. The Hopi radio station there frequently plays Wild Mountain Heather by Celtic Explosion (she thinks).

    She's been trying to find a copy of the song by that group on line without success.

    Any help appreciated. She may be remembering something incorrectly.

    Are you sure she's not thinking of "Wild Mountain Thyme"?

    Thanks, that's it. "Wild mountain thyme grows all around the blooming heather."

    She couldn't find Celtic Explosion but likes the Steve McDonald version and found that.

    Is this a great board or what??
