Are ewe ready for some sheep thrills! A Sheep at the Wheel (Becky Ross, fiddle, Karin Loya, cello and Julie Gorka, piano) play Scottish and English traditional tunes ranging from haunting slow airs reminiscent of Scottish castles and wind-swept moors to upbeat lively dancing jigs and reels. They wool impress ewe with their shearly delightful music. They have received rave reviews for their debut recording "A Sheep at the Wheel" released in 2009. The album has been nominated for a 2010 Wammie as Best Traditional Folk Album by Washington Area Music Association (WAMA). "Becky has a beautiful light touch on the fiddle...the cello and piano slip seamlessly from playing accompaniment to carrying the melody....This is music in the best Scottish tradition that is refined and disciplined, yet very lyrical." from CD Review in Strathpotomac Fiddler Becky Ross is a classically-trained fiddler who has been focusing on folk music for over ten years. Her playing is known for her rich tone and sensitive emotional connection to the music, whether that is a sorrowful Scottish lament, a majestic march or a driving reel. She also performs with several other Celtic groups and plays regularly for Scottish and English country dancing. She is President of the Potomac Valley Scottish Fiddle Club, a D.C.-based group promoting Scottish fiddle music. Karin Loya's Scottish musical roots date to her infancy when she first heard the skirl of her father's bagpipes. Her violinist-teacher father taught her cello at a young age and greatly influenced her musical development through his love for music. For over 17 years, Karin has focused primarily on the Scottish idiom, after the cello's significant role in Scottish musical history captured her imagination. Karin is a well-known folk cellist in the Baltimore-Washington D.C. area and has long performed with Scottish group Fynesound, as well as for English and Scottish country dancing, and for special events. In 2010, as cello soloist, she accompanied the Library of Congress Chorale in a performance of Vaughan Williams' Fantasia on Christmas Carols. Julie Gorka is a talented pianist who plays frequently for Scottish and English Country dancing as well as for Contras. Her playing provides solid bass underpinning on dance sets while exploring interesting treble harmonies that enhance any ensemble. She has also played with groups TuneFish, Copious Notes and Magnolia Klezmer Band. She is a longtime Suzuki piano teacher.

Great summary of Egyptian history
Format: Kindle
The book is—as the subtitle states—an “Overview of Egyptian History.” The book is a brief summary of Egypt’s long and interesting history. It starts with historical events: who were the rulers? What territories did Egypt conquer? Who conquered Egypt. The second part of the book discusses social, economic, and religious history.
This primer lays out all of the above topics but with little detail so the reader may wish to select topics of interest to study in further depth elsewhere. Because Egypt’s history includes millennia, I find it hard to understand, so reading this book was valuable to me.
The book is written in a style that makes it easy to read. It is not at all dry as some textbooks can be.
I recommend this book to anyone who wants an overview of Egyptian history and look forward to reading other books in the series.

Far from enthralling, but I did learn
Format: Paperback
This book was a disappointment. It looked like exactly what I was looking for: an overview of the history, society, and culture of Egypt from ancient to modern times that wasn't 500+ pages long. I did learn a fair bit of information, but unfortunately, the book is far from "enthralling." It reads like a high school student's book report. In addition, it sometimes just throws terms out there with no explanation, and I found myself having to consult Google. For example, it says "Since hieroglyphs were difficult to create, the Egyptians developed hieretic writing, which was a type of cursive script. Later, demotic writing was developed for ordinary documents." What is demotic writing? How is it different from hieretic? The book doesn't even provide a picture. I had to go to Wikipedia to find out what these things are. This book needs slightly more detail and an author with better writing style / storytelling abilities. That said, it still may be the best short introduction available.

Recommended read by tour guide to Egypt
Format: Paperback
Very good history book of Egypt in non-complicated terms. I wish there were more pictures and maps to add to the descriptions in the book. Read this as it was recommended by our tour guide to Egypt in April
