Beautiful Joe, really lovely.
Makes me get emotional thinking about my late dear departed mother and father in law. They were publicans and had an amazing life in one of the most popular Irish pubs in the area ....They had Irish bands on every weekend and was always cramped to capacity .....
My mother in law ( Imelda) was the most amazing , strong, wonderful and beautiful person I think I have ever known.
She was a little tiny "wrinkled" lady.
When I think of her I think of mother Theresa .
She would love this song .

Thanks for sharing, good memories, there are always a few bad memories too but we have to forgive and move on i suppose live our lives out, see where the road takes ya. The bands sound great, nothing like live music, especially Irish music :D and a few pints, although I gave it up lol. The Fureys are one of my favourite bands, top class musicians. I'd be listening in Dream world to a tape of the Fureys as a teenager and then you would hear their voices getting squeaky and fast and of course wouldn't you know it ...the stereo had started to eat the tape....happened alot back then eh ? :biggrin:

LOL yes, didn't we just love those chewed up tapes and you spent hours trying to untangle them to no avail....
Ah but yes , the good old live music, and they used to get my father in law up on stage with them to play the bauron ( no idea how it's spelt , but mean that drum thing ! .. )
Bless his soul ( he was called Joe !...)
