I didn't know any of this - I've known the Manau song since it came out and became popular (and I was still listening to hit radio ...). Alan Stivell, of them all ... Thanks for sharing this piece of information!My goodness. WHY did you post this ?!?! Backstory - I'm a huge Alan Stivell fan from back in 1978 when I saw him play in several small venues in Brittany.
Fast forward - one of his hugest hits is Tri Martolod (three sailors). Then along came Manau and took the same melody (arguably traditional, but there was quite some upheaval!)
and added their own lyrics which are a huge story of courage and war and becoming king etc etc which has now, on its own feet, become a massive Breton anthem.
And I love it - I love them both, the Stivell 'original' as well as this one

In 1978 (my gap year spent hitch hiking around the Celtic lands with backpack and guitar) I worked at the Lorient festival and got free lunches as payment.I didn't know any of this - I've known the Manau song since it came out and became popular (and I was still listening to hit radio ...). Alan Stivell, of them all ... Thanks for sharing this piece of information!
I was (am?) seriously thinking about visiting Le Festival Interceltique de Lorient this year for the second time; but I'm honestly not sure if I can make it, so it'd be a bit of a gamble to buy tickets (or a pass) ...

I've seen a lot of your work and photographs, Bob, but I have to say that the images you are making with the X-E3 plus the tiny 35mm 'Fujicron' are really very, very cool.
I have not felt well all day. So today I present for your viewing pleasure: a bowl of pinecones.

Thanks much, Gordon!Hope you get feeling better soon.
