minstrel: RE: "Celtic" music

[Melissa Frolli]

::whacks self with hand:: Duh, I knew that. Still the same theory applies, 
in many ancient cultures, the "ess" sound was deliberately used, unlike 
modern english, a 'C' can be pronounced as either a 'K' or an 's'. Thanks 
for the clarification Vivien.
Blessings!

To see a world in a grain of sand,
and heaven in a wild flower
To hold infinity in the palm of your hand
and Eternity in an hour.
    -- William Blake, "Into to Songs of Innocence"
