Here is part 1

I was looking for something to watch on TV looking through my favorite channels. One of those channels is PBS in America I saw that Celtic women was on and as I like Irish music I stopped and listened but keep surfing through. Still nothing on got back to PBS and Hayley was solo and I dropped the remote and watched the whole thing till the end. All I knew at the time was her first name. So being an internet expert I looked up the website of that group no mention of her at all I had thought that I had got the name wrong. So I did a search for Hayley on that website only and found a small press release with her full name. I googled that and found there was a lot of sites, after checking out her official site and needing to hear more I went to barnsandnoble.com to see what they had here. I then proceeded but buy Prue, Odyssey and then Celtic Treasure. I was now only playing this music. That’s when I looked up HWI and the info there was very large. I found out more about her and it seemed as though I needed even more so I began digging. I soon discovered that I was missing a lot of music.
So I ebayed and got the live in NZ and the uk release of Treasure ( which I think is the better of the two).

End of part 1

All my Love to Hayley
James (she can call me that)
