Listening to this while watching snow fall outside my office window. All I need to make the perfect tableau is a snifter of brandy and for all this work to go away. 
Reminds me a lot of early Bill Ackerman.
Irish melody at its best.

My 1st thought as well. I believe it's spelled Keagy.  But I'm probably wrong too.

    I'll never tire of the sound of a well-played acoustic guitar.
Andrew is a Kiwi artist who is quite known (and has lived in) Canada and the UK. I love his gorgeous guitar, and I'm surprised he is not well known in the US. I did have the privilege of seeing him in person in a small café - I was pretty starstruck. He's just a guy. With amazing guitar talent.
This beautiful melody sent me away for a few minutes to a special, peaceful place that I hope to soon revisit.
So beautiful

Drift away on the wind and sea....

one wonders why the Lord called back such a loser as you. Celts are definitely not native Americans. I for one feel badly about imposing clearamces on other folks that don'r deserve it
The Californians
Shades of ‘Going to California ‘ (Led Zeppelin) Nicely chilled,thanks Radio Paradise 👍
Touches the heart. A nice memory for my dear old friend Eileen Gannon - James Wilson Young HS class of '69 -  who just passed away this week. Thanks, the mood is right. 
Excellent

Celts were actually American Indian tribes, dubberdan...  hope you be having fun in the sun right this minute...  everybody in my hotel room loves this groovy song, and this marvelous album...  we be dancing like happy hippies...  love Radio Paradise...
I was just thinking is he going to California? and then Led Zeppelin kicks in. Bill must have had the same idea.
Wow this sounds so much like Bert Jansch - Avocet, which is a masterpiece.

Irish be one of the six Celtic nations... earthlings can be Celtic and not be Irish... Irish, Scots Highlanders, Manx, Welsh, Bretons and Cornish all be Celts.... sometimes the Galicians be included

very nice indeed....

...may have to include this for St. Patrick's festivities over the next 2 weeks (be a calming moment, and a chance to refill between the Pogues and Dropkick Murphys)

Sorry to be pedantic Lazarus but many of us Scottish Lowlanders are also of Celtic stock.
