MUSIC

If you haven’t heard some music 
lately, say, “Uh oh!”  Maybe your 
soul has become sour - and you’ve 
forgotten what music can do for you.

Walk down city streets, step into 
some local pub or tavern, and by 
chance you might hear enough music - 
to fill your soul and  quench your spirit.

If it’s in a pub, don’t forget to clap - 
even if you don’t know what language 
the song is being sung in. If it’s being 
sung on the street, put a penny or a dollar in.

In the YouTube video above,
 you'll hear 4 Gaelic Singers. 
The third one - in white - 
is Caitrinona Ni Churraoin - 
[Catherine Curran in English]
my cousin Kathleen's daughter - 
and still some people think 
Costello is an Italian Name.
The Crane Bar/ Pub
is on Sea Road,
Galway, Ireland

a couple of stone
throws from Ballynahown - 
where my mom  and dad are from.
