Theres magnets in all our pubs.. "Ceól / Caint, agus Craíc". { music- conversation- fun } I was in one of my favourites today in the city.. Lovely food and the best company.. Sure what more could a body ask for.. This is one of my favourite Pubs in our city.

Stong but honest writing here Sir.


Indeed we lived through  some very dark times here.. Images of  innocents injured are  a absolute heartache to me..

I was in the north of Ireland many years ago, when a bomb went off.. To this day i hear the crys and feel the terror in my heart.

God must get real tired being called upon  to support both sides in war.

Thank You all,

Yes! thats it. My problem is One of my younger woman friends hails from Navada.

She has been home recently, and brought one back with her. she has given it to me to tune ??? well i can only hear 2 strings
out of tune. But im scared ill break the strings. She thought i could use my guitar tuner ? I dont know. if i can ?
her children are young and go to the "Steiner School "near us here. For those who dont know the Steiner System. Heres a link.
http://www.steiner-australia.org/other/overview.html
Its a fantastic way to teach kids. { wish id had it for my own } She wants to learn herself, so she can play this with her 4 year old.
I must admit i have already played it. Its fantastic.  Im gonna buy one for myself... Its like a wee zitar, its a  lovely sound.

Son!

You keep doing what your doing if you enjoy it, "To Hell or Connaght" with the begrugers.

Your not looking for there approval. Don't even reply ! you will feed there deflated ego. They just need
to get a real life..

Alvee ! youd have been so proud of my backing to your singing lol. My friends in Rostrevor " the 2 Gerry's  and Deirdra
always finish the session on that song. Everyone there stands , clasps hands with the person next to them. Its always one big collective group singing. brilliant !   Only one thing missing ! No bacardi and coke to toast you Sir. lol

Very well done to you all.
