Hiya! Fáilte chuig mo Bhlog!! Welcome to my Blog! For ages I've avoided writing a "Blog" - even the use of the word was anathema to me -it sounds so unlyrical, ugly, even - and so I (perhaps foolishly, perhaps, snobbishly) resisted until, finally, I realised it was akin to holding out, Canute-like, against the use of the word "cool" or the wearing of hugely baggy trousers by young people...And so, here I am, contrite, humbled, writing on my Blog page. Oh, how the mighty have fallen...

Unusual Musicial Interlude
I heard music out in the back garden during the recent cold spell, which, on investigation, turned out to be issuing forth, in an extraordinary torrent, from a most unusual visitor (MUV). The photos are only back now, so you can see for yourself. The wee man told me (when he took a brief break between songs) that he is a member of the Cantóirí, those of Na Daoine Sídhe (or Faery Folk) who are reknowned singers. Anyway, he sang his wee head off for several hours, was gracious enough to allow me to jam along with him on a few tunes, and then, packed up his wee instrument and clumped off in his tiny, weenchy platforms. Here are a few shots of him (never did get his name..) {Special thanks to Dubhaltach for allowing me to use the pics}
Playing his wee guitar...
Swinging his wee feet in his weenchy platforms!
Singing his wee, knobbly head off...giving his all, "into the music", as another wee, knobbly-headed Irishman said!
Isn't he amazing? Strangely, although I had a recording device set to record the entire time, nothing came out on the tape except a strange, static-like hiss...
