I continue to be blown away by the fantastic music from Celtic Thunder & Celtic Brothers.
Soothes the soul in dark times. :-)

Re: More Incredible Music

Here's another incredible song, from the Tenors this time. Written by Bob Dylan, although Rod Stewart's version is best known. Until now! :-)

Amazing Irish folksong about WW1 sung by Celtic Thunder: The Green Fields of France

I still remember having to memorize the Canadian poem "In Flanders Fields" over fifty years ago for school.
You know you're older than dirt when you have memories over fifty years old. tongue

Re: More Incredible Music

Nice, sad song.

Try 70-year-old memories. That'll really get you down.

Re: More Incredible Music

If I wind up with 70-year-old memories, that'll mean I outlived most of my nearest male relatives. At that point, I'll throw myself a big going away party. Carpe diem! tongue

Re: More Incredible Music

I still have memories from 1950 when I was three years old!. Harry Truman had been president for about 2 years when I was born.

But Dirk, neither you nor I is even one tenth as pretty as Marilyn!

Re: More Incredible Music

No worries. I've never been mistaken for pretty. And welcome back.

Re: More Incredible Music

Harry who? :-)

Re: More Incredible Music

Another really nice ballad sung by a member from Celtic Thunder. It's about the first immigrant who went through Ellis Island. A fifteen-year-old girl from Ireland named Annie Moore. The song got her age wrong, though; she was actually seventeen.

Harry Truman was president when I was born, too!!  We're older than dirt, but the laugh lines deepen daily. And thanks for that nice comment... you're so sweet! I hope Di is stable. Give her a big hug for me!!  smile

Re: More Incredible Music

Marilyn,

Di passed away peacefully this morning. Heaven's Angelic Choir now has another wonderful voice. She was a beautiful woman, excellent wife, and such a marvelous singer.  As you know, we have original music (almost 2,000 original songs written) being played around the world. Our most popular song is one I wrote and she sang.

Humanity has lost a truly gifted and special woman, but a heavenly star now shines a bit brighter. I miss her so much, but I'm also happy she no longer struggles from day to day.

Hope you and David are doing well.

Biggest hugs,

Alan

Re: More Incredible Music

Hi Alan. I'm very sorry to read about Di's passing. I had similar feelings when I lost my mother to cancer a few years ago. Sad that it eventually happened (it was expected) but also glad she was no longer suffering. I have her picture up around the house (my father's too), so they're never far from my thoughts.

May Di never stray far from yours.

My condolences to you and your family.
Dirk

Re: More Incredible Music

Hey Alan,
My condolences to you. Yes, the songs will be awesome when we all get together and join in. Be blessed and be at peace.

Aw, sorry to hear the news about Di, Alan. Sylvia and I know you'll always cherish her memories.
Best regards to you, Randy & Sylvia

Thank you, Dirk. You been an amazing friend over the past few years. I appreciate that and your kind words here.

I have several pictures of her I'm having enlarge for framing. There are a couple of little things she had that just hated and I told her I was gonna smash and trash them. But I can't. They way t5oo sentimental now.

I try not to get very sentimental very often, but true love never dies and memories live forever. I have that to hang onto. So far, I'm doing as good as can be expected. We just had this large four-bedroom, three full-bath house built a couple of years. It sure can get lonely with all that room to yourself. The rerally sad paret is, I've lost both my girls this spring. Lucy, our Dachshund, died iin February - and now Diana.

I'll get back to reading and reviewing in a week or so.

Take care. Hope you are well.

Alan

Re: More Incredible Music

Thank you, George. Much appreciated. This the 4th goodbye to immedite family members in recent year. We've buried three of our children and now, Di.
