I was given this young mans album about 6/7 years ago.

He was in Dublin in the last few days.. I love the way he has changed direction somewhat  from acoustic by adding
Violins and cellos to some of his tracks.  Beautiful sound. He played with a  orchestra in Dublin this week.  " FANTASTIC "  was the feed back from my  friends.

Hi Teebird,

No! i dont have the answer either.   I do know with myself music focuses my brain when i hear certain songs.
Transports me back in time so vividly, i can remember just where i was , who i was with, and what i was wearing. My sences become heightened.  This song always baffles me when i hear it though. As soon as the first chord is played i start to well up with tears?
I havent a clue why, or where i was when i heard it first . yet! it reduces me to floods of tears everytime.

There must be some truth in music and emotions being tied together! dont the supermakets play certain  music to get shoppers to buy more products ?

heres a link i came across because of your question.

Also  the smell of someone ironing, takes me back to childhood. It always reminds me of coming home from school and me Mam  up to her oxters in clothes waiting to be ironed..

Hi jamiejah ,

I had the great pleasure of being in this mans company many times years ago.
The hairs used stand up on my neck listening to him  singing or reciting live. He was so passionate in the way he sang
songs or recited poetry.

This has always been my favourite of his.  Raglan Road"  By Patrick Kavanagh" I still sing this myself when asked.

if you click on  {More info} at the top of this link, you will get the words also.

Enjoy.

Goodmorning Buvvy!
from a cold "Emerald Isle,

Have you been reading our news of late ?  lol Political Slime" Is a excellent piece of writing .
I guess theres loads here who will apply a melody and chords to same. It will sound great im sure.

Soul Companion" is a beautiful peace.  From the core of your heart and soul.   This is where love resides i believe, so well
done for expressing it in such an artful way.

Thank You"

Hi Russell,

Loved "Good Bye lenny. Great sound.

The Gremlins one ? Nah!. It reminded me of the M50 trolls we have on a radio station here..

It took 6 minutes to download a file on media fire ? Does this happen with everyone i wonder?. Then i have to run all anti virus scans to wipe away all the other c### it brings with it! Its a pity but i find this puts me off going there. Anyone else have the same problem? with media fire ?

Your one busy man Sir.
