Lovely Daddycool,
I was walking this morning at 7/30 on some farmland. Sun shining, rabbits running everwhere, sheep just lieing in the heat of the early sun. I disturbed a hen and cock pheasant feeding on the track. I did have my camera but, alas i wasnt fast enough. They were away into the forest in seconds.. What a joyful way to start a day.
Love your song.

Topic: Mantis Woman. (18 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Hi,
Ive been scooting around this countryside of ours for the last few days in a "Ducato Elnagh Duke". Girletts quality time ,
I have traveled a lot in the last 20 years with groups of woman. Some of the groups were as big as 35 woman and some a small as 4. All in all ive had great times but, i have seen some predatory stunts played on the opposite sex by a few woman. I came to the conclusion a long time ago there are woman like this. These woman have absolutely no compassion for the male once they
set there sights.
I love all my female friends dearly. This doesnt mean i have to approve of there behaviour! This song is about how i see some of them operate.
One simple sentence in conversation also was the inspiration for these lyrics.
Thank You for reading.

Hi All,
I dont mean to sound like the grim reaper here but. I know theres lots of Mams and Dads here on Chordie with small kids.
Today again i was at a funeral. It was a 3. 1/2 year old Girl. My sons friends child. She toppled a wide screen Tv down
over herself. What ever way it caught her she died instantly.
It was on one of these stand things. Please please make sure yours is secured, as wee children get into all kinds of spaces.

Topic: Dome (9 replies, posted in Songwriting)
This wee song was inspired by a gift i received recently in the post. It was a tiny beautiful replica of a dome shaped church in Portugal. Sent by Roger Guppy. I love architecture . Old buildings have stories to tell. This Dome is in a market place,so i would expect it gets loads of visitors. I have left a link at the bottom for you all to see it. I tried to write the song from my own inner sanctum and the spirit that any church of any religion holds for me.
The song is finger picked quietly. Capo on the second fret. I do apologise for format. I just never seem to get it right!

Re: Ronnie Drew - farewell to an Irish legend (11 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Lordy lord,
Ciarán Bourke having a drink ! Some one regularly puts a bottle of Guinness on his grave.
His burial plot is near my own Mams.
Ronnie had a very moving and memorable service today.
The Parting Glass /sung by Elenor Shanly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jtc5oOxLjvY This is a great ole song for most repertoires
Arthur O’Shaughnessy’s poem "We are the Music Makers"
Just a closer walk with thee. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWxVrX7WH08
Just a few from the service for those interested.
Bursts of applause and lots of toe tapping stuff. His love of music was not only ballads. He also loved Jazz, He was a very accomplished classical and Flamenco player too.
He sure will be missed. "Dia Linn Agrá".

Re: Ronnie Drew - farewell to an Irish legend (11 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Ahhhhhhhhh Flester,
We have lost another great entertainer. I got a call on Saturday in the North to say he'd passed RiP. Just today i sang "The ould Triangle" along with Ronnie on the radio.
The first time i encountered Ronnie Drew was the late sixties early seventies.
I was introduced to him in The Royal Hotel in Howth. They {The Dubliners } were doing a show their. The first of hundreds i went to over the years.
Ronnie with his razor sharp wit, and ould gravelly voice. He had the most bluest enquiring twinkling eyes and a great laugh. His eyes were always at play , they seemed to stand out more because of his big ole beard. I remember me Ma blessing herself all through that show, as Ronnie had the habit of throwing in a odd eff or bejasus out of him..
There music along with others carried us through the troubles to keep optimism strong in our hearts for peace in this then so troubled land.
Luke Kelly never failed to move me to tears, so emotive was his singing. He was another great loss to us..
My heart goes out to Barney, John, and Patsy. They have lost another great dear lifelong friend. Patsy is another great Entertainer. He was also a neighbours child. My sister just recently spoke to Patsy and Barney in Holland. at a show.
Those times for me were magical , we were so full of hope for the future, and so circle of life goes on .
May God enfold them all in the musical mantle of his love.
Old Doll.

One can have butter fingers or twiddle their thumbs. Drag there feet or put them up!
But get the finger out to use good ole fashioned elbow grease, is one of the greatest satisfactions in life.
