I have lost many people that I have loved dearly over my lifetime. During my darkest hours, I turned to Gaelic Music as the bitter/sweet of the lyrics and musical themes seemed to be the only way to manage my grief. To me, Gaelic music is indeed one of the keys to the mysterious of the universe where the human soul is involved. Beautiful and in line with what I have had to deal with in my own life.

I have no doubt that Scots and Irish emigrants contributed to nearly every American tradition, and certainly to Appalachian bluegrass and shape note. But blues is almost entirely derived from West African music.

@@neilmckay4097 I saw a very well researched music documentary on BBC2, I think, many years ago. It actually attempted to discover the origins of the Blues by the host, who may have been of Jamaican ancestry (he said, but I don't remember for sure) travelling to the homelands of all the cultures which came together where the Blues emerged. He concluded they mostly derived from Scottish Psalm singing, which the slaves of Scottish property owners would have heard when taken to church by their religiously devout "masters". They would throng the galleries at every service, because it was considered vital they were raised Christian. He considered whether memories of West African music also influenced the emerging sound, but said there was likely to have been infuence in both directions, so it was impossible to tell which influenced which. I once, briefly, took a community music class (before it moved to another town) led by a very successful, English, orchestra leader, then semi-retired. When I had barely grasped the basics of reading simple music, he asked me to write a piece. On seeing it, he immediately said, is it Blues you love, or Scottish Traditional music? Apparently I was using unconventional keys or something, which was typical of both. He played it, to make sure it sounded as I'd intended, which it did, so it wasn't just lack of musical skill!

Margaret Bennett has a fantastic Hebridean lilt to her voice. Over here (Inverness, Black Isle, Easter Ross) the dialect is altogether a lot stiffer than it is in the west coast and Isles. According to the Internet, Margaret is from Skye, yet I haven't found any other clip online that has managed to so well capture the quality I remember in how the locals spoke when I was on Lewis & Harris.

I’ve been fascinated by the Gaelic/Hebrew connection for sometime now. I grew up in Dundee and as a young man, 22, ending up in Israel almost on a whim. The first thing I noticed was many of the words were similar to Scottish dialect. Look up Donald Yates on yt, “when Scotland was Jewish” My year in Israel changed my life for ever. That was almost 40 yrs ago.

The polyphonic style of gospel and shape note singing comes mainly from a style once common to the whole of Britain - in England it was called "West Gallery singing". The Gaels took it in one direction, the Americans (black and white) in others. But until about 1800 (when it got regulated nearly out of existence) the main creators of it were the English. From here in Scotland, Willie Ruff the urban legend monger is just another foreign fantasist.

Us Scottish are the product of Irish who traveled across the water separating Ireland and what is now Scotland. Scot's are the product of the pairings between the Irish and the original Celts. When we call the Irish our "Celtic Cousin's", we're not far wrong. The Scots and the Irish are related on a base level, as we both technically share Irish blood. The Scot's just have a majority of Celtic in them instead of Irish.

Upon my research I came across King Tut, which we have heard of at one point or another. What I didn't know but came across, was he had two sisters who had fled ancient Egypt, one founded Scotland the other Ireland. I would love if anyone was able to confirm this, as I am trying to learn more about my Gaelic Scot history.

"Call and Response" comes from the African Griot tradition. The plantation masters were less friendly Scottish guys who liked to sing and dance with their slaves and more rich men of English descent who rarely interacted with the slaves at all. African American culture was largely independent of the white culture at the time because the freed slaves had to develop a strong sense of community among themselves.

It is very easy to come to that conclusion. Historically the Romans never called the Irish (or British for that mater) "Celts". Archaeologically Ireland is at best a remote province and quite peculiar variant of LaTène culture, which may be identified with "Celts". Linguistically Irish has a strong substratum of non-Indoeuropean elements. Remember that the term "Celtic" for this group of languges is a modern tag. That book is long outdated and a bad point to start from...
