    I gotta say, I was in Ireland for 3 and a half weeks recently. I traversed the country and been in lots of newspapers and radio interviews as a Bono impersonator. What a wild experience it was. I sang in pubs with local musicians all over. And thinking I understood the Irish that much better. Yes, I did, but nothing like the education I'm reminded that the tunes and singalongs in the pubs are really an extraordinary event if you open yourself up to the power of song. I wish this would happen all over the world. The Dubliners themselves were really an amazing musical force that put the Irish that much farther on the map. RIP members who've passed on. Their contributions to humanity is in every word sung of these tunes through out the world. We have been blessed to have modern technology fall in love with this culture over and over again.

    I love being Irish. Sadness is ok and it makes life better. ❤

    Happy St. Patricks Day from an Irish-American in the USA. My grandmother always sang the Fields of Athenry every St. Patricks Day.
