A Conversation with Traveller, Mary Daly
(Continuted from page 5)
like yourself gave me the tape and I said yes, I know now what I'll do with that. I'll get a lot made and give it out to the people and it might really do something for them.
She is talking to our Lady and our Lady is telling her what to do. To say the Rosary and try and get people to say the rosary and go to mass and confession. She is a farmer's wife, has two children down in Mayo, near where our Lady appeared before. Christina Gallagher is her name.
CB: Have you met her?
MD: No, I haven't but the lady that knows me, like yourself, said she will have tea with me. She is a rich woman and she will say, "now I must get you a tape of Christina Gallagher." I know her and I'll get her to pray for you. I'll tell you what, would you like me to send you a tape?
CB: I'd love it. I thought it was very interesting when you said that your whole life now is spent thinking about saving your soul.
MD: Yes, that's right.
CB: I think that is the problem with the whole world. A lot of people have lost track of what we are here for.
MD: That is right, but it was "bet" into my head to be always like thinking of God by my mother and my Da believed a lot in prayers.
CB: Certainly with all of your life's experience and all the travelling and everything that you have been through it is interesting to hear you say that.
MD: Well I advise my children and grandchildren to always try and say prayers. I'm not holy but I try to advise them you know and do the best I can and say the Rosary every day.

A POPULAR SCOTTISH DUO RETURN
By MAURA McCAY
About two years ago, Mike Paul of the Scottish Cultural Centre brought in two visitors to meet us. They were Robin Watson and Gordon Menzies of the well-known Scottish folk duo, Gaber-lunzie.
The relaxed style of these two seasoned musicians was a pleasant break from our hectic pace. They told us about touring around the Scottish Highlands and Islands playing traditional folk music. They have been touring together for over 20 years and have produced 12 albums, four or five singles, a video and several CD's.
The name Gaberlunzie is an old one, meaning beggerman. James the V of Scotland was known as the Gaberlunzie King. He would dress as a beggerman and go out among his people singing and playing music. Apparently, he was a songwriter about whom many gypsy rover/noblemen songs were written.
Gaberlunzie produce their own material, record in their own stu-dio and promote themselves through an enormous database of contacts.
Gordon is the songwriter who writes most of the original music they perform. Robin is the com-
guter whiz. He graduated from lasgow University after studying classical music and computer programming. Some combination! Robin produces their music and wrote the program for the database which is custom designed to meet their needs.
Every few months, Gaberlunzie send out a newsletter to over 3,000 of their loyal fans, updating them on their upcoming schedule.
On May 14, Gaberlunzie will make a return appearance at The Scottish Cultural Centre. They will perform with The Sons of Terra Nova, the popular Newfoundland group who've been jigging up a storm in the Lower Mainland.
