Is Ceilidh a different word? It's pronounced the same way!</p>tag:sursumcorda.salemsattic.com,2018:/isso/147/5102007-02-22T21:20:52ZKeziah<p>Hi there! It's said &quot;kay-lay&quot; and is really a Gaelic word for gathering but has come to mean Scottish dancing. You ever come to Scotland and I'll make sure you all get to a ceilidh!</p>tag:sursumcorda.salemsattic.com,2018:/isso/147/5092007-02-22T20:15:12Zsursumcorda<p>Welcome! Is Keziah your real name? I think it's one of the loveliest -- though we ran out of girls in our own family before coming to it.</p> <p>I've never been to a ceilidh, but our other daughter (who will probably speak for herself at some point) has such enthusiasm for Irish (Scottish/Cape Breton/etc.) music and dance that the rest of us at least have a passing knowledge of some of the vocabulary. :) Even if we can't pronounce it.</p>tag:sursumcorda.salemsattic.com,2018:/isso/147/5082007-02-22T18:19:15ZKeziah<p>Living life on the edge, eh? ;-) Thanks for coming by. You mentioned at Jon Daley's blog that you were impressed I was a ceilidh dancer. Are you Scottish or just into ceilidhs? Nothing like a good ceilidh, I think, and you can tell if it's been a good one by all the bruises over your arms in the morning!</p>
