Laoghaire Ní Sidhe regrets nothing! She's just chilling! Can you imagine living down by the docks all your days and being a stone cold badass? Can you imagine drinking cozy teas in the winter while wandering the world through literature? Do you want to walk around with a hand forged knife on your hilt and stalk the fringes of society??? YOU MAY BE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

On a very pretty June day when the birds they were singing and the sirens of Brooklyn were quiet for a moment, Melanie Beth Curran got to sing her special song, "I Don't Regret a Thing" in the Greenwood Cemetery.

Bonny Irish Boy is in my zine, Happy Within: An Iri...

This song is in my zine "Happy Within: An Irish American Songbook". Here's an excerpt from the zine: "Highway Patrolman tells the tale of an ambivalent cop. It's no secret that Irish American males became the police in this country. A small chunk of superiority and respectability was and is afforded by that role. To become a cop as an Irish American is to deny one's own history. The song sings ...
