I can relate to this poem Frequent Flier.
Why ? because ive been there also. It wasnt a fantasy, it was real and wonderful while it lasted.
If the divine made anything better then sharing real love between 2 adults, i believe he kept it for himself !
Thanks for the memories.

Hi Daddy,

Old Doll.
Your right Daddy,
Kick her to the kerb you have to much writing to do..
Good song again sir.
Citóg Phill.

This one ive been trying to perfect a long ole time now.
Richard Thompson-- Bees Wing . He is such a great guitar player.
Nanci Griffith.. Across the great divde.
Mark Knopler.. I dug up a diamond... This one is fine and easy enough. { On acoustic i mean !
I think im to hard on myself at this age I try enjoying the journey though.

I cannot watch these programmes anymore,
I get to scared for the contestants as the wait for the "Judges" comments..
I was at a party recently here in Dublin. I heard fantastic singers, some even better then some of these people on tv,
and not a one of any age wishing to be famous. They Sing and play for the love of entertainment. These shows i feel are about Money/ power/ and greed.
After watching "Susan Boyle" here on Xfactor was enough for me.. Americans apparently love her as i do.
But her vunerability pains me somehow.

daddycool,
I believe this is certainly one of your best songs so far sir..
To write so much about love in a positive way, has to be from good experience to my mind..
Stay as Cool as you are sir.. your doing great..
Old Doll.
Your right Jets 60,
I wanna just evaporate like "Angels Share !
Angels' share is a term for the portion (share) of a wine or distilled spirit's volume that is lost to evaporation during aging in oak barrels.
Maybe as i eventually pop my clogs, ill be lucky enough to fall into one... What a way to start a wake
Thank you jets, I dont feel old either sir..

Hi Wilbaye,
I used to sing this song so long ago now.. It was always only with a certain group of people who appeared to understand the lyrics somewhat more then others ?..
Some never understand the magic of the written word like this.. Its beyond magnificence.
Poems or songs ? who cares whether great written works have music or not.. But! these musicians certainly do this piece justice.
Thanks for sharing. Its a good note to retire on.

As to all time favorite - impossible to tell but I do like to read HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams and its sequels. they improve with time

Missed this when it went up. I've been in the Brazen head - years ago - for some reason I don't remember much about it !
We had a quiet St Pats, just dinner ( Champ (mashed spuds, scallions, butter and milk ), bacon ribs ( cured pork ribs boiled for three hours ) and cabbage ( boiled in the rib liguor) ), and beer and whiskey.
Belfast can get a bit crazy on St Pats - too many drunken under age kids.
CHAMP ! lOVE THE STUFF STRANSONGS. it has to have the good ole real butter floating in the middle.
And yes ! Dublin has all that uncouth behaviour also. I cannot ever remember behaving like this anytime in my life.
No drink, no drugs, i just lived life and had a ball.
Between head shops now and booze ? heaven preserve us all.
Im glad you and all had a good time.

Nice one Bensonp,
This was always one of my faves of dylan.

He is more then a friend to me.
Ive been busy the last few days, so have had no personal contact with him.
You know you have loads of friends here Marc. Ill contact you later sir when ive more time.
In the meantime ive some work to do.
Old Doll.
Hi Bensonp,
I never heard that song before sir. I enjoy checking out the bands and groups i never heard of when ive time, so thank you.
My sister asked me in a email recently " Did i remember my Buffy St Marie years " I went through a time of singing all her songs.

Im to sensible these days i think
Instead of crashing out and coming round, i go to sleep and wake up ! I did have a few wee Hennessys to wet the shamrock!
Delish as was the music and company.

A very enjoyable day was had by all.

Hi Stransongs,
2 completely different sounds there. You have a soft voice godbless you.
Nobody but Nobody" guitar immediately reminded me of the planxty sound years ago. Donal Lunny came to mind.
Your lyrics are so good either way. Thanks for sharing your songs and poems.
Old Doll.
Aahhh, Daddycool,
This strikes a chord with me. After i married i never heard those 3 little words ? I never knew why, although i asked ofton enough.
He was to busy telling someone else i guess .
I on the other hand tell my kids everyday " I love them" and they tell me also. So alls good in my world.
