And they called it IraLand
Good to hear from ye, Lad! As work is going to keep me O.T. (especially Friday, possibly into Saturday), here are my Top Five Favorites on all things Irish:
1. And It Stoned Me - Van Morrison
2. Danny Boy - Sinead O'Connor's Version
3. Give Ireland Back To The Irish - Paul McCartney
4. Sunday, Bloody, Sunday - U2
5. Emerald - Thin Lizzy

And it's a long way to Buffalo.It's a long way to Belfast city too.And I'm hoping that Joyce won't blow the hoist'Cause this time, they bit off more than they can chew.

Down into the street below And you know you gotta go On that train from Dublin up to Sandy Row Throwing pennies at the bridges down below And the rain, hail, sleet, and snow
3.
Faraway, so close up with the static and the radio With satellite television you can go anywhere Miami, New Orleans, London, Belfast and Berlin
4.
Great Britain, you are tremendous, And nobody knows like me.But really, what are you doing In the land across the sea? Tell me, how would you like it,If on your way to work,You were stopped by Irish soldiers?Would you lie down, do nothing,Would you give in, who can say?

Sister Mary Katherine entered the Monastery of Silence. The priest said, "Sister, this is a silent monastery. You are welcome here> as long as you like, but you may not speak until I direct you to do so".
Sister Mary Katherine lived in the monastery for 5 years before the Priest said to her, "Sister Mary Katherine, you have been here for 5 years You may speak two words." Sister Mary Katherine said, "Hard bed." "I'm sorry to hear that," the Priest said, "We will get you a better bed."
After another 5 years, Sister Mary Katherine was called by the Priest. "You may say another two words, Sister Mary Katherine. "Cold food," said Sister Mary Katherine, and the Priest assured her that the food would be better in the future.
On her 15th anniversary at the monastery, the Priest again called Sister Mary Katherine into his office. "You may say two words today." "I quit," said Sister Mary Katherine. "It's probably best", said the Priest, "You've done nothing but bitch since you got here." O'starriders
Ira,
Janet & I just wanted to tell you that we enjoyed hanging out with you after rehearsal. It's always nice getting to talk to people outside of the studio environment. Next time, we should ask John to join us, if he's not busy.
I know that you can't make rehearsal next week. So, have a nice week, and let me know when I can schedule our next rehearsal. I consider you a partner in this deal. So, let me know what works best for you.
BTW, your playing has been excellent. We've really enjoyed playing with you since you signed up with us. You've made all the songs we play sound better. Thanks again, for being a part of things.
Looking forward to playing again soon.
