Five more songs. I'm trying to save some of the ones I know really well in case there is a time in this project when I need to take it easy. Also it is lots of fun working on some of the songs I haven't sung in a while. 
There seemed to be an ocean theme to today's songs so I am also posting a painting I did on that theme.

Song 6

Song 7: 

Song 8

song 9

Song 10

Here are the first 5 songs of my 100 song project. They are not fancy, just me and my computer and the Gaelic songs that I love. 

Song 1: Illean bithibh sunndach (lads be happy)

Song 2: Mhic iarla nam bratach bana (son of the earl of the white banners)

Song 3: Tighinn air a' mhuir a fear a phosas mi (coming in the sea is the man I will marry)

song 4: fear a' phige (man of the jar)

Song 5: Mo nighean donn nan gobhar

I really enjoyed the challenge of writing a blog post everyday for Mìos na Gàidhlig and I have been thinking about what my next challenge/project could be. 
The huge amounts of Gaelic music I listened to while driving gave me an idea: I will post Gaelic songs.  My goal is to post 100 songs.
So here are the rules I've set myself: I will post at least 4 songs a week, I have to be able to sing at least 3 verses of a song with out looking at the words for it to count (or the whole thing for shorter songs).  I am going to start with the ones I know really well and see how far that gets me, then I'll have to go to the ones that I only kinda know, learn a few more verses and polish them up a bit and I'm sure by the end I will be needing to learn a few more Gaelic songs to make it to 100. I'll try to get to 50 songs by Halloween and 100 songs before Christmas. Wish me luck and please share your favorite Gaelic songs. :)

Entering the dim light of the cafe from the bright street, I take off my hat and wait a moment for my eyes to adjust.  The hostess, a slender young woman with long blond hair gives me the questioning look before saying "just one?" 
She takes me to a narrow section with booths that are clearly meant for two and I sit down. By this time my thoughts of 'oh I could go out for lunch, it will be nice to go to a sit down place and get some good food" are dissipating reveling memories and awkwardness.  There is no one else in this section but through the large windows I see a patio full of happy looking people in conversation with each other and I realize that the fun of eating out (aside from not having to cook or do dishes) is talking with whoever you are with.  I don't even have a book so I continue staring out the window, watching a man practicing his juggling 'till the waiter comes with my food. I eat quickly with no distractions and soon I am pushing back my empty plate and waiting for the bill and wanting to get out of there.
Just then the hostess brings two people in and seats them opposite me.
"I feel like I'm on a train" The woman says sitting down "We could be going to Hogwarts" I smile, going to wizard school sounds so much better than a lonely lunch in a dark cafe. The man notices my smile and says something.  We get to talking I say that I have been on the train ride that they show in the Harry Potter movies. Some how we get on to the topic of Gaelic (this happens a lot with me) and the woman says "I wish I could speak Gaelic" 
"Well" I say "I teach Gaelic" and I reach for my purse.
"Do you have a card?" she asks correctly interpreting my move. I hand them my card, talk for a few minutes more and then leave them to their lunch. 
I walk out into the bright sunlight, smiling.
