Céid Mile Failte, { One hundred thousand welcomes } Peteen,  { Wee Pet } To chordie..

Ain't you a blessed child. A Mam who's sings / Plays / and cooks ..  I bet shes a loving Mam also..
Remember this son. If your Mam ever gives you a short rope of trust , use it wisely.. Its a test us Mams give our kids.

The more wisely you use it, the longer the rope gets. In simple terms you get more freedom" Your Mam will explain all to you.

" 2 years ago my niece was married here, her wedding was held in a hotel on a beach.. It was the hottest day. Later in the evening i took a ramble away from the crowd  alone as i tend to do, down to the beach.. I heard the sound of a guitar playing.
I followed the sound. There was this young man sitting playing by the light of the moon.. Totally oblivious he was to everything else. The sounds were beautiful with the sea lapping softly in the foreground. After some tunes i clapped quietly.. I gave this young man the fright of his life... Exchanged a few words with him. He told me he gets his best inspiration for playing and lyrics  while in this place..
So next time you bring a note book and write down your thoughts while at the beach with your Mam. You just may write your best
work or have the written memories to do so another time.

Have fun.

Great song Phill.

I didnt have images of Bristol but , Finisterre, Galicia,in  Spain. My  childhood friend married a Galician, all his family are in the fishing industry. Its also known as  Costa De Morte,  "Coast of death" because of so many ship wrecks.

Its a beautiful place to visit but so scary when you see the power of the ocean there. Its also called the end of the world.

Im sure there generations have stood many times as ours have watching and hoping for there loved ones.

Thanks again Phill for the pleasure of your writing and recording.

Normtheguitar,

I use one of these holders. I was forever losing picks. This is an inexpensive little gadget, sticks to the guitar. Its invaluable to me. I always know where my favourite picks are now.

Congratulations Daddy,

I remember coming here to get some guitar tips and quieten a distressed mind after my  young sister died. I cannot believe I'm still visiting the site Still learning but most of all enjoying the chordians here.  If i hadn't posted so much chat and practised more, id be playing like Tommy Emmanuel at this stage !!

Chordie for me inspires. It IS THE BEST SITE ON THE WEB.

Good luck with the next 100 sir.

Buvvy,

99% of people on this Island would agree with you.. Ive lost complete faith in Roman ordained catholicism. It has lost its way
so very long ago. I honestly believe now the Vatican is one big paedophile ring.. They have done nothing in the last year to change my thinking on this... Unfortunately the very few Priest who are true to there faith and love of good are also pooled into
the decaying quagmire. I do know some priest who are what they profess to be.. They i telll you are as broken as we are..
They live with the finger pointing also... Our chapels and churches reflect this now.. Practically empty for every meeting or mass.
We have a huge influx of Indian People. { catholic} they use the church  more now  then then locals.

Good write Buvvy as always.

Hi Bass Viking,

I just listened to your song.. Its lovely sir.. You have a grand soft voice god bless you. Easy and peaceful to listen to.

I was never afraid to express my feeling. so much so i was called "touchy feely" for years I still cry easily and hug just as fast.. To the embarrassment of some.. Its how i am.. Im hardly gonna change now..

Well done again with your song, Keep up the good work.

Very good Stransongs..

I love these pieces.. Christy Moores ..Viva La Quinta Brigada is a great fave of mine.

Ive just finished reading a book about,
John Barry from Wexford.
John Holland from Clare.   

Very interesting read about 2 Irishmen and American Maritime history. Theres no doubt us Irish got
our Sróne [ Nose ] or if your in Ulster its {Gaosán] in everywhere we went.

Love the piece. History in song is how my Dad taught us best.

For those who dont know Viva La Quinta Brigada heres the link..
