Today I am Irish. The other days Scott, but my clansmen occupy both sides the channel. Had an uncle that was Police Chief in Belfast, another kept him busy.
My relatives in Cork informed me that they'd traced our Irish ancestry to Dutch sailors who immigrated there some 400 years ago....but they always say there's a bit of Viking blood in all of us.
I'm dusting off my Commitments DVD and watching that movie again tonight...smoke something green and howl at the moon..
I truly love that band...I've been in several versions of that band at times..most with the same ending...movie strikes a chord with me.
I love that movie, also have it on DVD. http://mentalfloss.com/article/84050/10-soulful-facts-about-commitments
