One of the CDs that I re-discovered when sorting my CDs out was the original Riverdance CD. I'd forgotten how splendid it is. The music takes me right by to the many happy hours I spent tapping rocks in County Clare.

Ah! the memories of an ageing Geologist.

Next album will have to be Dylan's "Blood on the tracks" - all we had to listen to during a field season studying pro-glacial fauna in Norway.

Happy days!

That's a good place to study geology. It's a great subject. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at university. Tell him to go on every field trip offered.

Riverdance - Isn't that just Michael Philately doing a load of old stamps?

Or tell him to come and visit Hawkes Bay. A few kms from where I live is Cape Kidnappers: One of the worlds largest Gannet colonies, a fab golf course and a Geologists Wet Dream!

I disagree. The music is far better than the dancing. If you get the taste of the music from Riverdance, it can lead you to wonderful music like the fabulous stuff Eileen Ivers (http://www.eileenivers.com/) delivers. If you are in any doubt have a look at this:

Looks great, but for it to have the full wet dream potential, I need to be able to tap on it with my little hammer - those cliffs look a little too inaccessible to me. If you can't tap it, you can't jizz on it.
