    Top O' the morning all yee lads & lassies

    May the road rise up to meet you.
    May the wind always be at your back.
    May the sun shine warm upon your face,
    and rains fall soft upon your fields.
    And until we meet again,
    May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

    May love and laughter light your days,
    and warm your heart and home.
    May good and faithful friends be yours,
    wherever you may roam.
    May peace and plenty bless your world
    with joy that long endures.
    May all life's passing seasons
    bring the best to you and yours!

    Tis barely two years since, I wandered away,
    with the local battalion, of the bold IRA.
    I've read of our hero's, and I wanted the same,\
    For to play out my part in, the patriots game.

    This Island of ours has, for long been half free,
    Six Counties are under John Bulls tyranny,
    And most of our leaders, are greatly to blame,
    For shirking their parts in, the patriots game.

    My Dad's family was from Leitrim, and my mother's side were from Dublin. So a Happy St Paddy's day to all.

    Danny Boy, Garry Owen, Irish Washer Woman, Gypsy Rover, Cockles & Mussels, all good tunes, throw in Mull of Kintyre and some of the tunes on the Irish Rovers "Unicorn" album as well.

    Though I like the song "Danny boy" I've never been a big fan of Irish music. Yeah I know, hey, I also don't like corn beef & cabbage. 50 lashes with a wet 4 leaf clover.

    Oh Danny Boy-Always loved the tune.....Especially with the Bag Pipes More-so......

    One of Two Bag Pipe tunes played at My Brothers Funeral, grave site, on bag pipes, and Yes, His Name Was Daniel......(the other; of course Amazing Grace)...! Cheers Ye Brothers............


    Here's the Bag Pipes Version, which IMO is much better than the one above...!

    ...^^^ matts, though I was born in Jacksonville, I have no real "Irish" connection other than my last name. (O'_____)...Mom named my Brother "Danny" (Daniel) after the song "Danny Boy".

    ...but like the saxophone, I've always been drawn to to sound of the pipes...there's just something about them that's like a beckoning siren.

    ...Some people can't stand the bag pipes and they claim it makes their skin crawl...for me, I would equate that to the accordion. Tie me up and play accordion/polka music, and I'll confess to crimes I didn't even commit.

    Picking up a Fishman Loudbox Mini for acoustic Guitars. Got Bass, Treble Mid-range controls for the guitar along with Reverb & Chorus. Bass, Treble and reverb on the microphone side. Sixty watts of power may not light up the neighborhood but it does change the complexion of the guitar from a parlor Instrument to one with cojones. Next month I will complete the package with a TC Harmony stomp pedal which permits harmonies and additional reverbs selections to your vocals depending on the key in which the instrument is played. Gonna be nice.

    Bagpipes: awesome as hell have liked them since I can remember. Wings put them to great use on Mull of Kintyre. If you wasn't to see something that catches one off guard go to You Tube, Glen Campbell. Merv Griffin 1981 and you'll see Campbell sing Mull of Kintyre and play bagpipes as well. Always liked Campbell as a guitar player, good voice as well just could never connect with the stuff he chose to record.

    I have no real Irish Connection, other than get this: born and raised a Canuck, Northern Kin to Cajuns, I bear my Step Grand Dad's name for my Middle name........ (who was the only Maternal Grand Dad I ever knew), by the name of Dale O'Dea, yep, there's the O'.....

    Same here the bagpipes bring me to my knees; but IN joy, ....... crushing at one time, with the loss of Danny Boy, they've come to represent when Life was more forgiving a time, IMO.....

    I'll still drop and stop what I am doing to hear those as you called it 59, "those beckoning sirens", every single time....with utter dignity of an entire Social Plight of the Irish....or as McCartney once sang: "Give Ireland back to the Irish"....

    On another note, one of the best overall more Modern Day, mid 80s? was the Daniel Day Lewis Movie(s):

    • In the Name of the Father (my favorite of the 3)

    • There Will Be Blood

    • Sunday Bloody Sunday

    I gotta' throw in a great Irish Flavored Hells Kitchen Flick other than Lewis' Work: ie,
    Edward Burns in-
    • Ash Wednesday, what a great movie.
