Accolades
Irish heritage
Dear Peg,
I love listening to your music, you have such a beautiful and haunting voice.
When my son Kyle had to do a project about the Irish coming to America I
thought of you and checked your page for information. We had to investigate
the different cultures that came through Ellis Island and at the end of it
all we had a big class party. Everyone made some food representing various
cultures and the kids had a lot of fun trying everything and Kyle and I made
boxty. This is the article with that recipe. Here
I think it would make a great addition to your page because it has a lot of good
ideas about get togethers and irish traditions.
Thank you for your beautiful music. You are so talented and very inspiring.
Respectfully,
Destiny
Peg performed and residents enjoyed her repertoire, and voice.
Thank you and very much Peg for entertaining them the best Irish
way possible.

Hi Peg,
If you and Sharon didn't consistently provide us with:
excellent songs sung from the heart, a variety of tunes
that changes each gig and always a chance to make requests,
technically excellent guitar and violin playing that varies
with each performance and a real interaction with the crowd
that isn't canned nor scripted nor condescending: then we
wouldn't be sitting there. You and Sharon
and Kevin when he's with you, serve up a novel and
spirited evening's worth of tunes, banter, and instrumental
music each time we come to see you. When I go to a gig to
see you and Sharon, I feel like a part of the action and
that my being there matters to you and to Sharon.
There is a sense of intimacy that is missing with most other
performers. That's why I drag myself to a Peg and Sharon gig
I know I'll feel better when I leave.
Thanks again, Peg (and you, too, Sharon).
Take care,
A Fan

Dear Ms Dolan:
The CD arrive today in fine shape,
and is all I hoped it would be. I was
browsing for "The Patriots Game" and
found you and your site and more,
all to my great delight.
Your singing is a rare gem:
clear confident and melodic.
I hear in you some of what I
remember of the fabled Ronnie Gilbert.
I wonder if you too sing with head
held high and a smile on your face.
I will browse around the "store"
and site knowing this will not be the
last disc I buy from you.
Originally in another world in a
far off time I was born and lived
in Syracuse, NY, from which I now
hear Bluegrass Jamboree.

his Mahler Mozart Ives and Copland.

hello, Peg:
I've just recently discovered your lovely voice and
music (give thanks to
CDBaby.com). I bought the "Home" album and can't
tell you how much I loved
every song instantly. Each one feels like a song I
am hearing sung again by
an old friend. The entire collection gives me the
sense of familiarity and
delight that one gets when chancing upon a favorite
voice or tune. I sort of
relate to this music like I do to the memory of my
mother's singing long ago
when I was a child. It evokes many of the same
feelings in me that her
singing did: peace, security, joy, and the feeling
that life is truly a
gentle, abiding river of song.
I'm in San Francisco. If you ever get out here to
perform, I would be
overjoyed to come and listen.
sincerely,
kass mcmahon-kelly
Dear Peg,I know you don't know us,
but since your music has brought us such great joy,
I decided to write you a little letter.
Tonight we are sitting onour sail boat in the Bahamas
having supper and listening to your wonderful music,
as we do many nights. We first heard you on our
trip from Ottawa to Bahamas. We left Kingston and
sailed to Cape Vincent 25 August 1998 to clear customs.
We were sitting on our boat at the end of the dock feeling
real lonesome, since we just said goodbye to our famil yin Kingston,
when we heard this beautiful music at the other end of the dock.
At first we thought it was a tape, we went to check it out and
there you were playing for some function. We enjoyed your
concert very much, bought your tapes that we played all the
way to the Bahamas. We are now on our way home to Ottawa.
Will leave Bahamas on 1 May and are wondering when you have
concerts and where. We would travel far to see you. I would
appreciate it if you could send me a schedule, if possible.
If not, that is OK. I wish you all the best!
