Barbara Bush. RIP

Read earlier that she refused any more medical intervention. In her 90s.

Must be a first. Wife and mother of American Presidents?

Abigail Adams was first.  Wife of number 2 and mother of number 6.  Barbara was second.

Barbara was first to see both being inaugurated.

Longford, Cavan and Monaghan seems to be the cowboy music heartland.

You forgot Tyrone.


Fermanagh is hardly much different..

Is this kind of music a catholic only thing up the north? Or is it cross- curricular?

What?

I think he means do Protestants listen to that kind of music as well   :o
Exactly. Well? Do they? Do the protestants flock to Hugo Duncan, Philomena etc. as well? I dunno? But I am serious about this?

Yes they do ... why wouldn't they?
I'm trying to decide on a really meaningful message..

because many of our interests are different say like motorbike racing seems to be much more popular among Protestants here in the North.

We're more into racing cars, and it doesnt have to be your own car,
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Laythrum is great cowboys and heroes country too.

I like country music. It's all I ever heard on the radio growing up.
Mid and North-West Radio have a lot to answer for!

Not a massive fan of country music but he was well liked in these parts so it's sad to hear of his passing. RIP.
It's all Paul Claffey's fault.
Paul must play a Joe Dolan song every single day still.

Big Tom's death and the reaction to it are like evidence of a tribe that has often been ignored. There was an article in the Irish Times about 400,000 people who emigrated between 51 and 61 before secondary education. Ireland didnt want them. But the country and Irish bands played to them all over England. I used to meet a few ould lads from that generation at a homeless shelter in London. They would always be talking about home. I can imagine the buzz when the musicians rolled up.

Were you working there seafoid? Not being nosey but it sounds genuinely interesting.
Did you see that movie "Kings" with Colm Meaney that's partly done in Irish and based on the play "Kings of Kilburn Road"? Bleak but very powerful and moving.
The Jimmy McCarthy song "Missing You" made famous by Christy Moore would have been about that tribe as well I suppose. McAlpine's fusiliers too. They were probably remembered more in song than in any other way.

Saw the Kings of the Kilburn High Road a couple of weeks ago. Local dramatic group put it on. Very moving show.
Careful now

I was just volunteering once a week , Asal.
There was a drop -in centre where the people would be given tea and sandwiches donated by the City sandwich shops at closing time.

I met one lovely man from Williamstown in East Galway who was alcoholic and homeless so he could never go home. We used to talk about football. One day he said that someone had told him that there were houses now in Willamstown from the church as far as the crossroads. He hadn't been back for 40 years. 

The people were either Irish/Scottish rural alcoholics or English working class. There was a huge difference between the 2 groups. The English were conditioned to believe they were useless and deserved nothing better.  One fella told me proudly that his family was scum. The Irish people would never say that.

Did you ever read the book " I could read the sky" ? There was also a film with a soundtrack by Iarla O lionaird.   It is one of my favourite books.

This song us from the film.
The line ""I am in England now" is haunting.

I'll check out the book seafoid. I'd love to see the movie too but from looking it up there it won't be an easy one to get hold of.
