Happy Birthday Loreena McKennitt

| Loreena Isabel Irene McKennitt February 17, 1957 Canadian musician |

One of those favorite chanteuses of mine is Loreena McKennitt. She hails from Canada and is an award wining soprano vocalist, musician, composer, harpist, pianist and plays the accordion.
Her specialty is Celtic and Middle Eastern themed musical pieces and many of her works enchant and enthrall me with their melodic lyricism.
Her heritage is Irish and Scottish and early on she wanted to be a veterinarian who turned to music because it obviously spoke to her and called her to it as a profession.
Her music certainly has spoken to me over the years and inspired me to listen to that which she offers the world in the form of her art.
