We're rehearsing tomorrow. I'll make sure we dedicate a tune or two to you :o)
As for a Christmas present, I'd just like you (for the sake of Answerbank) to stay healthy.
>>> I'll make sure we dedicate a tune or two to you.
I didn't know that 'You're So Vain' was in your repertoire, TB ;-)
Thanks for you good wishes. I hope that you'll stay fit enough to blow your own trumpet (or saxophone, as the case may be) for a long time to come too ;-)
I'll act as interpreter..... Mickey's just a bit up the road and Sham a bit the other way so I have no problem with the Kerry accent.
Dave's getting better though he still nods a lot when he's at the men's shed... :-)
I'm not so sure about that, Builder. Dave's told me something I'd never noticed because I'm so familiar with the Kerry accent.
He says the men are almost un-understandable....but the women speak so very clearly he understands every word.
Well, that's why he speaks to lots of women...he tells me.... :-)
And should you visit us here we'll point you to the best of our five pubs for the best ever pint of Black Custard... In fact you'd be a hit playing in any of the pubs.....x
Gness... if the day ever comes when we can all go travelling again without all the faff, I would love to visit Sneem.
Nerd that I am, the nearest I've got is to travel the whole of Sneem's (long) main street on Google Streetview.
Not a fan of Cliff Richard but have taken these words from Mistletoe and Wine as this is what I would like for Christmas.
A time for giving, a time for getting,
A time for forgiving and for forgetting.
Christmas is love, Christmas is peace,
A time for hating and fighting to cease.
Do visit, Builder. We'd all make you very welcome. It's a wonderful village. Kind, fun and always buzzing.
Have a look at the Story Telling Festival of Sneem. You would love that I know....stories and music. Two years without now but next year...please god as they say here.
Growing up there were thirteen pubs....now we're down to five but not bad for a population of about 290. Great food, music and craic....not to mention the Guinness.....x
If you're on your usual form, Prof, I assume that you've already calculated the amount of kinetic energy (together with the optimum vibration frequency) required to actually laugh one's socks off ;-)
Ahhh thanks for the mention Chris :)
looking at the youtube links, could you imagine trying to understand Sham or the shepherd these days with the masks on ;) hahaha
