We on  our  way !!

[Rhona]

Excellent - I'll keep the 'Bullshit' corner free for us.............believe it or not; there is a table in one section of the pub and it has a plaque up which states 'Bullshit corner''..........half thinking I should bring the camera tonight and forward you on the pics Mike...........but we'll see!!!

[Michael Alexander]

BuT! But! What about the lurkers and men in black that want to keep an eye on you?

(I see the net in Namibia keeps going on and off...so if I am disconnected it is through no fault of mine)

[Rhona]

It's against the law to film a leprechaun when she's having a few drinks..........How can I say I don't remember if there is a movie made of me singing!!!.................I half think 'The town I loved so well' will be sung tonight - any requests???

[georgswa (Georg Ruf) (RIP)]

@ Rhona, give us when "Irish Eyes are smyling" i wait for you LOL

[georgswa (Georg Ruf) (RIP)]

Tra Laaaaaaa La Laaaaaaa La La La got the rythm ??

[Michael Alexander]

Just in case you forget the words.....
"n my memory I will always see
The town that I have loved so well
Where our school played ball by the gasyard wall
And we laughed through the smoke and smell.
Going home in the rain running up the dark lane
Past the jail and down beside the fountain
Those were happy days in so many, many ways
In the town I loved so well.
In the early morn the shirt factory horn
Called women from Creggan, the Moor and the Bog
While the men on the dole played a mothers role
Fed the children and then walked the dog
And when times got rough, there was just about enough
But they saw it through without complaining
For deep inside was a burning pride
for the town I loved so well.

There was music there in the Derry air
Like a language that we could all understand
I remember the day when I earned my first pay
as I played in a small pickup band
There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth
I was sad to leave it all behind me
For I'd learned about life and I'd found a wife
In the town I loved so well.

But when I returned how my eyes were burned
To see how a town could be brought to it's knees
By the armoured cars and the bombed out bars
And the gas that hangs on to every breeze
Now the army's installed by that old gasyard wall
And the damned barbed wire gets higher and higher
With their tanks and guns
Oh my God, what have they done
To the town I loved so well.

Now the music's gone but they carry on
For their spirit's been bruised, never broken
Oh, they'll not forget still their hearts are set
On tomorrow and peace once again
Now what's done is done and what's won is won
And what's lost is lost and gone forever
I can only pray for a bright brand new day
In the town I loved so well."


and I request Galway Bay!

[georgswa (Georg Ruf) (RIP)]

Mike, now sing it for us, i like to hear the tune, must be good but sad ????

[georgswa (Georg Ruf) (RIP)]

Looks like Rhona is practising .....

[Rhona]

@ Georgswa Can you believe I don't know that one...........shame on me!!!

@ Mike - words look good but what about 'Nancy Spain'?
Ahem!

''Of all the stars that ever shone,
not one does twinkle like your pale blue eyes,
And like golden corn at harvest time your hair,
Daylight peeping through the curtain of the passing night-time is your smile,
And the sun in the sky is like your laugh,

Sailing in my boat, the wind gently blows and fills my sail,
Your sweet scented breath is everywhere.
Come back to me my Nancy,
linger for just a little while,
since you've left these shores - I've known no peace or joy.'

No matter where I wonder;
I'm still haunted by your name
The portrait of your beauty stays the same
Standing by the ocean wondering where you've gone; if you'll return again
Oh where is the ring I gave to Nancy Sapin''

Tra lalalalalalalala

I love that song , but you're right .... it is depressing... I always remember my father playing it..........

[georgswa (Georg Ruf) (RIP)]

@ Rhona, i can hardly beleive that you dont know........

When irish eyes are smyling
its like a morn in spring..........

.....sure they take your heart away

[Michael Alexander]

@ RHona.. I don't think I know that song... to be honest

[georgswa (Georg Ruf) (RIP)]

We must revive caseys and learn all thes songs,

[Rhona]

Depressing??? Galway Bay or The Town I loved so well?
