hope to find you in a good shalpe. I have to say nothing really important.I just would like to remember you, that I will atttend the concert at the 17th of may in the NCH. Not my favourite venue, but the date fits with german bank holidays. And I still would like to hear Victar Jara again. That would be really great. Flight, the hotel is booked, the rest of the journey is planned ( like the cliche german, I will do the rebellion tour, a tour at glasnevin and kilmainham goal and the rest of the day and nightime I will stay at “The Celt”, “The Cobblestone”, “Fibbers Magees” and around the Grafton Street to look out for the buskers. 😉
Bruce Springsteen met Shane before he died.
Said Shane’s songs will still be sang 100 years from now.
True that Boss but I’m sure they’ll be singing
“Down all the years, down all the days”
Just saying like …
When Johnny Cash was recording Redemption Song,
his producer Rick Rubin suggested he change a line,
cause the english wasn’t so good …
“Bob Marley wrote that. I can’t change it”
Is ceart agus is cóir sin.
Hi mate. I’m a fan of yours from Tasmania and since I had first heard “back home in derry” Ive thought that it’d be great if someone down here wrote a few songs back at youse telling some tales from the other side of the coin sort of thing. It occurred to me just recently that id be drinking a warm beer during a cold day in hell before any of these other lazy bastards got to it so youse will just have to make do with me and my humble efforts I spose.
I made a swap with a mate for a banjo late last year which im waiting for him to come good on but in the meantime I decided to just have a crack at it and write me songs to previous songs like you did with your tribute to Gordon Lightfoot. So I thought id try that with a song I liked by a band called Charlie and the Bhoys and in the process realised it was originally a Woody Guthrie song! And then I got distracted by that cause id never really heard much of him and quite liked it! And then I decided to procrastinate further on me efforts by writing all of this as a way of showing you how little actual work ive done so far, comparatively.
This land is your land
Don’t feel much like my land
Exiled upon Van Diemens land
Via ancient Ireland
They stole all you’d to eat
Chained us to the first fleet
Singing this land was made for you and me
Hi christy,

Breakfast awaits at the intercontinental with your team.
Big game day
Triple crown

English wooden spoon
Night in naas
Almost heaven….not west virginia
May the best team win

Hope you’re feeling better Christy.. we’re giving out about the weather here but it’s a sign everything else is grand.. Galway bound for a gig tonight in Monroes.. never played it but heard good things.. I see Bruce released his version of Shane’s “Rainy Night in Soho”.. did you ever sing it? https://youtu.be/r_Z3JL42L5Q?is=5sv3mgf1HH3SkWyt

PS: Forgot to say , to go with my one verse, I did manage to come up with an alright sounding name for an Aus-Irish folk band. Tasmanian Ireland!

Bruce has released a version of Shane McGowans ‘Rainy Night In Soho’. I think it’s a beautiful gentle version….here it is…(hopefully)
