I so loved that video.

Not to mention the vast range of  colourful instruments. Give the silver haired daddy a warm hug from Old Doll.
He is definitely one man id like to share an evening with.

Thank You" for posting Sir.

That day is etched in my mind like J F Kennedys death.

Sal and i had just left our business premises to go to the airport social club for lunch. It was a glorious sunny day i remember.
There were people everwhere looking in shop windows at TV displays.  We were trying to figure out from my car what this fuss was about .We had not heard a thing. We were a holistic business so no radio or televisions on the premises..
I remember being rooted to the spot on hearing what had happened. Time was in slow motion as thoses planes did there damage  it seemed over and over, as the news looped the same  awful image over and over.

Fear filled my soul as i tried to make contact with family and friends who worked in the banking world there. One young nephew was in flight at that time back to the Emerald. It was one long waiting gane. He came home safe. iIwish i could say the same for so many more that day.

That deed held nothing positive. Other then it killed so many innocent people, left minds and hearts destroyed for ever.

May the innocent rest in peace.

Thank you" Buvvy for posting.

Failte Arkady,

On a warm sunny day here on the Emerald i was soaring on thermals in my mind listening to Condor.

Its Beautiful Ark.  You might send  me  the new ones when you can. I'd like to add them to your other recordings. Im away for the weekend to this place.

http://www.ballycotton.com/leisure_walking.htm . For a much needed break. My sis has a summer house here. She is also home
at the moment. so the menu is,  Fresh fish , fresh air, and a wee bacardi or 2  lol

I also will be going back for a week soon with a meditation group, so it would be nice to use your music for this break also.
I know i have your permission already to do so, so Thank You. Ark.

Blessings to you and yours.

Tagliatelle.

I love this dish.  I usually make the sauce in the morning and refigerate it . In the evening the tagliatelle only takes about
6 mins to cook. Strain but dont rince the pasta. As the sauce clings better to the tagliatelle.

Butter in pan and melt. Add red chopped onion, small sweet orange peppers chopped, shitake and ordinary mushrooms.
some finely chopped chicken breast, [ or fresh prawns ] fresh parsley  finely chopped.  seasonings. plus one good dollop of red or green pesto.  Then i add half cream , and half creme fraiche .

Less calories to keep my size 10 figure] :lol:lol:  Sure you'd leave home for this dish.

Heat the sauce while the pasta cooking in the evening, you  will have dinner in no time on the table..

Its only delish.  Garlic crusty bread is also yummy  with this dish.

Just a wee piece i wrote recently . Observing  nature , also adding my own feelings at that time.

No Resistance.

Trees bend and sway with elegant ease
caresses accepted, there lover the breeze.
No resistance to life, belief to the end
new growth, new seasons ,will come round again

Your lover, the breeze  blows on my neck
i shiver, resisting the urgeing he makes
“Bring on the change"  his whispers to me
Im scared , im human, im not like a tree.

The changes are coming, wind gives instruction
the losing of leaves , its life in construction
Your trees will bear fruit, continue to reign
Gently blow round me , new growth brings me pain.

Thank You" Marcalan,

This is a beautiful piece reflecting just how life is for some. I have seen to much of death in the last 5 years.
Some have left wounds so deep they wont grow scar tissue. I accept, grieve, cry a lot, write a lot, about missing them always.
I have no doubts we will meet again. Its the physical aspect of not seeing or hugging them i will always miss the most.

Its the circle of life.

Thank You" and everyone here on chordie for all your support to me while Declan ,my lovely brother was living his last days
with us.
They were sad, painful,  revealing, but most of all loving. I shared wonderful days and nights with him. His brown eyes said so much to me when his voice was silent. We wrote a lot together. played Luke kelly songs, his favourite singer. Joe Hill" was the last song our Dad taught us before he passed. He [ our Da, taught us all our history in song ] We were so blessed with the parents we had.

400 people sang "Joe Hill" as Declans remains were interred. It was both emotional and wonderful.



I now have the  task of recording Declans diaries for his sons..

Blessings on you all in abundance.

Hi Mekidsmom,

Do yourself the biggest favour and cut your nails short, short. Vanity stopped me also cutting mine for to many years.

Nature gave me the most beautiful nails.  I was surrounded by the best guitar players in my time, i also
loved the guitar, but wouldn't cut the darn nails to learn properly. I left it far to late much to my regret. Believe me short nails is needed to get the best sound  from your new baby. In this day and age we have sticky nails for functions and Glam if needs be. I also only cut my left hand nails, I keep the right hand  long for picking.

Good Luck

Lifes to short to be to be putting holes in doughnuts or worrying about nails. lol

Hello Elizebeth,

I once also lived a fairytale life. Like all fairy tales they are just that ! Not the real world.
Love can not only break your heart , but your Jaw also !  This is not love !  May i suggest you read this piece as
ive done for many years. The more  times you read it , the more you will understand  daily life.

You  Elizebeth,  and your words are "MORE POWERFUL" then any relationship you will encounter.  Use them wisely.
