Sìleas
Sìleas (pronounced sheelis) is a Scottish harp duo. Patsy Seddon plays electric harp and gut-strung harp, and Mary Macmaster plays electric harp and metal-strung harp and they sing in both Gaelic and English. Together they make up part of the all-women folk band The Poozies.
The name of the band is explained on the back cover of the debut album Delighted with harps as follows: Sileas na Ceapaich was an 18th century Gaelic poet - her loving and eloquent praise of harp music led Patsy and Mary to take Sileas as their professional name.
They were inducted into the Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame in 2013.

Zz Blues
by: Sesame StreetWell I've seen a lot of letters and it seems to me
There's something real special 'bout the letter 'Z'
But boy we're sick of singing 'bout zippers and zoos
There ain't enough 'Z' words
Got the ZZ Blues
You can stick with 'zebra' 'cause it's tried and true
Maybe mention 'zither' just for something new
But once you've shown them 'zebra', 'zither', 'zippers' and 'zoos'
You're almost out of 'Z' words
Got the ZZ Blues
Time to write a song about Zanzibar
C'mon and sing along about Zanibar
Guess I could be wrong about Zanzibar
Going zingy with the ZZ Blues
We're zooming back to zipper 'cause it's still the best
Zipping back to zebra and we need a rest
Gettin' tired of thinking
Yeah we've paid our dues
There ain't enough Z words
Got the ZZ Blues
(band starts falling asleep while still rocking!)
Only band I ever worked with to fall asleep and keep playing the blues!
Guess I might as well join 'em
and cop some Zs myself!
(ends with band asleep but the music still going!)
