Teach your children well
Yeah, I believe in that but this is just a video that I came across of a fine version of the song … Enjoy! I think I am going to add a page with all the songs I like at some stage. A big page!!
Never too early to start but quickly too late!
I spotted this earlier on a News Website. I think it’s good and thought you might enjoy. If you’re going to boil an egg, put it on now and come back and watch this. The egg will be ready by the time you’re finished!!
Time shared …
Earlier today I met some cousins who are visiting from USA. We arranged to meet at Knock Shrine and had lunch together. Some I’d have known from before, with others it was a first time meeting. Enjoyed the company very much and was good to catch up with those I know and get to know those I didn’t. JFK’s line came to mind “A stranger is a friend I’ve yet to meet” …
Before meeting them I went to the Basilica for a minute. Decided to take a little video of the Basilica which looks so good. Posted to YouTube so have a look
After lunch we went home to Moygara and my brother Gerard took the family to see the home of their ancestors in Fauleens. I think there is not much of the home left now but even to stand on the ground has meaning.
I suppose we take our place for granted a bit and it’s all very local to us. It’s when you see how much it means to children and grandchildren of those who emigrated, you begin to re-assess the appreciation of what’s local.
Two Legends
Watched a documentary on Johnny Cash the other evening. It was called “Hello, I’m Johnny Cash”. It was very good. I liked one piece where Kris Kristofferson talked about Johnny singing one of his songs “Sunday Morning Coming Down” and that the producers of the show wanted him to substitute a word they did not think acceptable. Cash asked Kris what he thought and Kris said the other word suggested did not have the same meaning. He left the choice to Cash …..
I just recorded this with phone so video quality not great but the message is clear and I love Kris’ rendition. I cut the recording before realising Kris had something else to say about the lines he had just sung … “Well, I guess that could have been sung worse but I don’t know by who …..”
I think Kris does a good job on his own song … here he sings it at a tribute concert in memory of Johnny Cash.
Is little Donald a bit like ….
another President we all know??? Now you’ll have to watch!!
What about your light and mine?
With Bruce visiting Ireland last week, I decided to check out some of his concerts. I wasn’t going to Croke Park. I found a YouTube video of his concert in Kilkenny. It was a recording of the full concert – over three hours – and I thought I’d have a look. The opening song took me by surprise. Not the stuff of Rock and Roll, you might think, but it surely had its place. Well done Bruce. It seems to be a regular in his playlists.
and though I didn’t make Croke Park, here’s a clip of a man who did!! Not a whinger in site:) You’d love to see some “action” like this in the Dáil:) Then again, maybe not!!
On the upside … now I’m beginning to think I’ve got rhythm after all:)
