Hi Christy,
As always C4N leads the way with the important and truthful news.
Tonight they reported on Mexico’s equivalent to El Salvador’s Los Desaparecidos , as Jalisco is the place with the unwelcome record of having the largest populus of Los Disperados. There are the glaant Mothers of the Missing who have searched with rudimentary tools and hands to find their relatives bodies for well over 10 years, many Mothers having themselves been ‘disappeared’ for their work.
They interviewed ‘the crow’, a horrid beast we admitted killing 100 people and chopping up their bodies.
Thank goodness that good people like Wally Page have been writing songs, and those who sing those songs, about people like these, and stand to be counted…..mama’s still waiting for someone to say, Zara Christina was found yesterday,the ghost of not knowing still leads her away, Zara Christina was missing……

Thanks Christy for a great concert.
45 years ago, me and my sister hitchhiked around Ireland. You gave us a lift and tickets to your concert in the National Stadium that evening.
A lot has happened since. I married an Irishman, lived in Dublin for more than 10 years, moved back to Belgium and since 2 years we have a holiday home in Ireland. I got 2 tickets for your concert in the National Concert Hall for my sister’s birthday. We sang along with every song. Thanks a lot for all your songs over the years.
I watched “In Time Donal Lunny” at the Irish Film Festival in Tokyo.
It was a wonderful Nuala O’Connor’s production team, I was moved and saddened at the same time, and tears drop down in my eyes. It’s difficult to put this feeling into words. . .

greetings Yas….
thanks for sharing news of the film being shown in Tokyo…
its remarkable how our Trad & Folk Music has travelled so well to distant countries..
I regret never having visited Japan….other players have shared their experiences while performing there
I too was deeply moved and saddened when Donal & I performed “Natives” in the film ….but those feelings never shadow the joyful music we played together across the decades that preceded…
always good to get news from the Far East
Well Christy, the 2026 World Cup kicks off tomorrow. Thanks to F.I.F.A. and the likes of Infantino the once ‘beautiful game’ becomes more ugly, greedy, & corrupt by the day. I’ve attended football matches for almost 60 years but I don’t intend to spend a single minute watching this years tournament. Football, stolen from the poor and needy by the rich and greedy. Joxer (along with Jinky & Bestie) would be turning in his grave. 2DC John
