Enjoyed a Lovely Walk by the Sea Today !!!!

Today the Weather is Sunny and Bright
and I Enjoyed a Lovely Walk by the Sea !!!!
- also I Feel Better Today !!!!
- I Feel More Positive !!!!

Often there are many Potential Possibilities !!!!

Often there are Many
Potential Possibilities !!!!

Yet what Often does Occurr
is the Unexpected !!!!
the Un-Envisaged !!!!

Even for example the title of this Posting
Origionally I was going to title it as :
"Often there are many Options to choose from" !!!!
and than launch into my 'Spiel' about the Unexpected

Scince I started on this Posting:
i have just learnt that the music course Today
is closing down for the christmas period and
will not resume until mid-January 2009
- That was certainly Unexpected News !!
[i am sad and disappointed and a bit'taken aback'-i did not even get access to the grand piano this week and even access to a computer has been difficult to say the least - it feels like we are being Rushed Out of the premises]

As for this Blogg ????
It will depend on my access to a Computer
which is Often Unpredictable !!
It might actually be next year
sometime or other in january
when i next get to Blogg


Any Good News ???? Yes !!!!
New Music Came to me as I walked here
through the Misty streets of Galway
and whenever Music Comes to me ????
I Feel Happy about Everything!!!!
I also Feel Good about Myself !!!!
and I also Feel Good about Life !!!!


-when I have the oppurtunity ??
i might Return to finish this Posting ??
and if Not ????

Well Happy Christmas !!!!
and a Happy New Year !!!!
and God Bless You All !!!!

Just had an Exam Today - Ugh !!

Just had an Exam in Music Theory
and It was Awful - I hadn't a Clue !!
I do not know do I have some form of Dyslexia??
I Do Regard myself as Inarticulate
[clumsy ackward and inexact with Words]
and I am even more hopeless with Numbers and Symbols
The Exam was about Music Notation:writing and reading Music
and I was completely Blank;it might as well have been
Ancient Greek or Swahili I was been Quized about
I was completely Blank !!

my self esteem was Zilch afterwards !!

until What Rescued me and Raised me Up
was I started Singing an Air:
[a piece of Music that 'Came'to me !!!!]
and the Urge to Play it on the Piano
became Overwhelming !!!!
and my Self Belief was Restored !!!!
I was Happy Once more - Thank God !!!!


I have a Real Gift in Music !!!!
I Really Feel Good about my Gift !!!!
It is a Very Real Gift !!!!
and It Really Cheers me Up !!!!

Thank God !!!!

Ceolchoirm Anocht !!!! - We played a Concert !!!!

Tonight We played a very enjoyable Concert !!!!

There is a very beautifull full moon tonight !!!!

We have been weeks rehearsing for this Concert

and the responce to our Music Making is Positive !!!!

Is Tús Nua an Bhlian Nua !!!!

The New Year is a New Start !!!!
- an Oppurtunity for a New Begining !!!!

A lot of Good occured in 2008 !!!!
For example the Election of Barack Obama !!!!

and of course the Irish Film 'Once'
winning an Oscar was Wonderfull !!!!

- As for my own Existance also refered to as my Life ????
Well getting Samples of my Music Out on to the Internet
is a Personal Achievement that matters a Lot !!!!

Plenty of New Music is Coming and
I am Hoping to Compile Future Podcasts !!!!
- at Prescent I am attending and particapating
in a full-time course in Music - It is a Good course !!!!
The People are Really Nice and the course itself is
Interesting in a Multi-Dimensional Way !!!!
My Own Specific Interest is in Composing Music !!!!
- yet I am also Enjoying Performing
Music in public as Well !!!!

As for this Blogg ????
I kind off accedently stumbled into It !!!!
and to be honest: -It can be Addictive
so much so? I am Trying to Ease Off !!!!
and Yes I am Aware that
I do Overdo the Exclamation(!!!!)marks
and Yes I do Overdo
[or should that be correctly described as OverUse?)
the facility to enable Capital Letters to manifest
Yes I do acknowledge it is Not exactly Kosher
and Yes I do make many Spelling mistakes
and Yes I do Say very little
and Yes what I Blogg about is rather Boring
and Yes I recently have inadvertantly Strayed
into discussing and commentating about
a Private Personal Issue:[-i am refering
to the postings of 2nd december and the
7th of november]-It is an Issue
that Often occupies my Thoughts
I have told Her about this Blogg
I do Not know does She ever Visit it ????
a Lot of what I could Say to Her
would be more Appropiate to be
Communicated to Her in a Private Letter !!!!
To Be Honest I would Rather Not be
Talking about it in this Blogg !!!!
- My Intention is to Delete the majority
[if not all] of what I have
written about this Issue !!!!
The only reosen it is still up
is because Other than this Blogg
I have No Other Way
to Reach Out to Her !!!!

Now I do believe in the Value
and the Virtue of Letting Go !!!!

What I am considering is when I can find the Time
is to Do a 'Spring-Clean' of this Blogg
what that will Entail will be a
Lot of Deletion of accumulated Postings
There are 34 Posts within and up on this Blogg
and my Intention is to 'whittle'
[edit] it down to 10 or Less !!!!
also in Future Posts to the Blogg
I Will Endeavor to Ease Off on
the Excessive Over Use of 'Capital'Letters
and the Over Abundance of Exclamation marks !!!!
- Also if I can remember how?
I might Alter the Colour of
the Lay-Out to this Blogg !!!!

After All It is a New Year Coming Up
and consequentially Potentially a New Start !!!!

In Relation to Us if We are to Meet again ????

If We are ever to Meet again ????
If All will Go as I wish and desire ????

We will Meet in a Good Way
It will be a Friendly Interaction
and It will be Lovely
If You would allow me to
Touch Your Hands !!!!
and also to Gently Embrace You !!!!
and If You allow me ????
I would Love to Give You
a very gentle Loving
Kiss on Your Forehead !!!!
- as a gesture of
Affection from me to You !!!!

Of course it would be Good
If we could Listen and Talk
to One Another in a Polite
Trusting One Another Way !!!!

There was a Time Once
when We were able to
Listen and Talk to One Another
and when We Trusted and Believed
what the Other was Saying !!!!

As for Our Past ????
If it is Your Wish
Not to Talk about It ????
- I will Respect
your Feelings in that Regard !!!!

=====================================
There are many Potential Options Maybe Available ????
Yet Experiance Tells me that what will occurr is
what I least expect or anticepate -Anyway I Hope
Somehow in a Good Way We Will Be Reconciled !!!!

-[- as for the rest of what I have typed out on this posting?
In Comparison to You?-I am Inarticulate:clumsy ackward inexact with words!!
and as for the Rest of this Posting??
Please regard it as 'So much Foolishness' and 'Letting-Off Steam'
- In Truth it Appears Unlikey that We shall ever be Re-United in Actual Person or in Real Time or in Real Life!!!!

- However I am Entitled to Hope and to Dream !!!!
and It Sure Cheers me Up Dreaming of Possible Rápprochement
and even More Wonderfull of All: Reconciliation with You !!!!
-as for the circumstances in which I Typed out All of what follows:
-usually I Only have a Few Moments on the Internet;
which Explains why what is Writen in the remainder of this Posting is Writen the Way it is[i.e. usually in brief unconected 'Snatchs'of Time !!]To be honest I do not know does any of it make Sence? Other than what follows is an Accurate Reflection of my Feelings !!!!

= = = = = = = = = =

Probebly Nobody Reads this Boring Blogg Anyway !!!!

- Anyway If You are Willing
to discuss what occurred
between Us all those years ago ????

First I would wellcome You
Explaining what You were refering too
- when You accused me of
"Not Respecting the Limits"

When you said that to me:-
-I Tell You Truthfully that
I had Not a Clue
Not an 'iota' of an Understanding
of what You were Accusing me off
at the Time I was Too Polite
to get into a discussion with You over this Issue!
also I figered You would Not Believe
Anything I would have said !
-I Actually am One of the Most
Ultra Polite People
You Will Ever Meet
and Honestly I was Bewildered
by what You Accused me Off !!


In Hindsight I Wonder
was what You were Referring too ????
- was it the Issue of :-
"I telling You that:
- I Love You !!!!"

Yes I Do Love You !!!!
and I Will Always Love You !!!!

However I am Realistic about It All !!!!
- - in the sence that
First of All: We are Seperated by 1000's of kms
-than there are Other Practical Real Life
considerations such as Day to Day Living
Truthfully I Tell You there are Times
I Contemplate "What it could be like
If We Ever Chose to Become a Couple ????"
- and Yes I am Daft Enough to Say: Yes !!!!
- Yes as in:I am Even Daft Enough to Marry You !!!!

However Saying Yes is the Easy Part
In Reality We would have to Negotiate
some sort of Mutual Agreement in Advance


I Acknowlege that The Two of Us
are So Different in So Many Ways


You have more "Get Up and Go" [than I]
and I Salute You in that Regard !!!!
You are more of a Free Spirit [than I]
and I Respect that Quality in You !!!!
You are also more Passionate about Travel [than I]
- years ago I did Travel alot and I Enjoyed my Time Abroad !!!!
these Days though my Priority is What Am I to Do in Life ????

As for my Positive Qualities ????
- I am More Polite than You are
also I am a much Nicer Person !!!!
(-I would Never have Behaved to You
as You did when You were in Ireland)
also I Do have a Very Real Gift in Music !!!!

People who knew You described You
as "Very Nice and Easygoing -!!!!"
which makes It even more Incomprehensible
that You Chose to Behave in such a
Ruthless,Harsh,Angry,Rude and Uncaring Way
At the Time I could Not believe what I was Experiancing

Now in Fairness to You:
You told me Something Awfull
happened to You about the
Time of Your Birthday in October'01
-also You told me that 'Your Life
was Falling Apart'in early January'02
So a Lot Else was Going On in Your Life
Way back than Other than Our Falling Out

We Should have Talked to One Another !!!!
I was Your Very First Friend in Galway !!!!
and I Am Still Your Friend !!!!
I Am Only Too Willing to Try to Understand You !!!!


Your Actions and the Way
You spoke Still Resonate to this Day
-I am Constantly Reminded
of what Occurred Between Us
Memories and Thoughts of You
Assail me also many Unanswered Questions
as to What caused You to become So Hostile
Your Rudeness and Anger was Incomprehensible
because It seemed So out of Character for You !!!!

Remember I was Your Friend !!!!
Before We Fell Out
I had Many Positve
Experiances of You !!!!

I Did Ask You "Please can We Talk"
I Did Ask You "Please can We make Peace
before You leave Ireland"
Sadly You Refused and Consequently
the Situation Between Us
to this Day is Still Unresolved !!

I Deserved Better of You !!!!
I was Your Friend
and I am Still Your Friend !!!!

You Should have Co-operated with my Request
when You had the Oppurtunity
when You Lived in Ireland !!!!


Truthfully I Tell You:
-I am Very Forgiving and
I Do Forgive You !!!!
and I Will Always Forgive You !!!!

I Forgive You !!!!
I Also Wish You Very Well !!!!


Do We have Anything in Common ????
Yes Music !!!! Love of Music !!!!
also We Both Like Being Outdoors in the Fresh Air !!!!
- also We Do Both have a sence of Humour !!!!

When You were in Ireland
I was never Aware that You Composed Music
and when I did discover[after You left Ireland]
that You are a Composer !!!!
Something Inside me Soared with Affirmative Joy !!!!

As for my Gift in Music?
Neither of Us was Aware at the Time
of How Gifted I am in Music !!!!
Paradoxically one of the consequences of
Our Falling Out indirectly
Resulted in the Awakening of my Gift !!!!

It is One of the Reosens
[as well as the Love I Feel for You !!!!]
that I am Still making the Effort
to Reach Out to You !!!!

Origionally I was going to Title this Posting
"If I had a Magic Wand?"
or"If All Would Go as I Wish !!!!"

The Christmas Lights are Up in Galway
They Look especially very Beautiful on
the street You used to live at !!!!
I always Remember You when I walk past
where You used to live !!!!

Christmas 2001 was Rough
because You were absolutely
Horrible to me -You lashed out
in Anger whenever I approached You
at the Time I experianced
Misery as a consequence
of Your harsh Implacable
Ruthless Unwillingness
to Even Talk or Even Be Polite or Nice !!!!

There was No Dignity
in what I Experianced
from what You Inflicted !!

On the matter of No Dignity ??
The Worst of the Worst was ....
Our Final Encounter/Interaction on 2/2/2002
-It was Not the Way for Us to Say Goodbye
-Long after You Left Ireland
Flashbacks of that Incedent
Often Assailed me - so much so
that Often I would Awake out of
my Sleep in the Early Hours
with the Image of Your Angry Eyes Blazing
"What did I do?to deserve such Hostility"
I am Not Your Enemy -Yet
You Behaved Consistantly to me as
If I was Your Worst Enemy !!
I Am Not Your Enemy !!

In Fact I Am Your Friend !!!!


Yet I have a True Story
from that Dreadfull Time
about the Power of Music
to Instantly Positively Transform All !!!!

One evening at Night-time
walking through the Markette
at St Nichlaus's - in Galway
My Misery Instantly disappeared

-to Be Replaced by Happieness and Joy !!!!
when I Heard the Gorgeous Notes of a Song !!!!

It is a Very Well Known Song
[that was Re-released at Christmas 2001
and Sung by Nicole Kidman and Robbie Williams]
The Words are Recognisable and Appropiate
considering All that Occurred and Certainly
I Nominate It as "Our Song"

The Words are:-"and than I had to spoil It All
by saying something stupid like: I Love You !!!!"

Yeah that is Our Song !!!!
The Words are So Appropiate
and the Melody is Gorgeous !!!!

Everytime I Remember that Song
I Smile at the Happy Memory it Induced !!!!
It is a Beautifull Song !!!!
It is Our Song for Now !!!!

Of course I am Hoping
and I am Praying for
a Positive Transformation
in Relation to Us !!!!

Ideally We Should Meet Again !!!!
However that May Not Be Practical
All things considered ????

So Other than an Exchange
of Letters or an Exchange
of e-mails ???? - Well I
I Would Prefare a Dialogue
via an Exchange of Letters !!!!

and Ideally it would be Good
If We could be Relaxed and
Light-Hearted and Easygoing
If We Ever Do Talk and Listen
to One Another Ever Again !!!!


It Will Be about Dialogue !!!!
It Will Be about Mutual Understanding !!!!
It Will Be About Making Peace !!!!


My Ultimate Prayer to Almighty God
in Relation to the Two of Us is
Let Only What is Truely Good Occurr Between Us !!!!
Let Only What is Truely Good Be !!!!


Only What is Good !!!!


I have had 2nd Thoughts about Deleting
Most if Not All of this Posting and the
Reoson Why?-is because You Might Read It !!!!

This posting should properly be titled:
"Unfinished Work in Progress" !!!!

Trivia Maybe ????
Astrology is probebly 'Bunkum'
-yet Be Aware I am a Taurus !!!!
I am the Complete Opposite
to Scorpio's like You


-also
There were times I had a Real Sence off
many previous Lifes lived by You !!!!

I Often Remember You !!!!
I Remember Well Your
Arrival in Galway - when I First
saw You there was a Lot of
Golden Light about You and
Everything seemed to go into Slow Motion
[even though you were walking very fast]
Initially I assumed You were a European
French?Swiss? Definately Italian
and probebly with no ability to speak English
than You opened your mouth and Spoke
and when I heard the Accent I Hoped You were Canadian
Yeah It was Funny How We Met !!!!
0n the 4th of August 2001 !!!!

I Really Enjoyed Your Company
and I Believe I Fell in Love with You
during those Four Days We Shared !!!!

Oh Yes Something Else that might Give You a Laugh or a Smile ????
- when You left on the 8th You left a Bag of Rice behind You and
I Still have It !!!!- I could never get around to either cooking It
or trowing It out - I often Smile with Amusement anytime I See It !!!!

Anyway
I was Delighted when You
Returned to Galway in October !!!!

and of course it goes without saying
it deeply distressed me when we Fell Out
I Literally could Not Understand
Why? or How? You developed an
Extreme Hostility to me -It was an experiance
for me of Inexplicable Unspeakable Misery
It was a Nightmare that Got Worse and Worse

It was a Dreadfull Time and You Used
to Lash Out in Anger at me whenever
I Politely attempted to Speak to You

Anyway I am Forgiving by Nature !!!!
and of Course 100% I Forgive You !!!!

Yet there are times when i am down
when i feel anger torwrds you and
during those low periods i feel like
really giving out to you[as in giving
you a real 'telling-off']such is the
sence of injustice and hurt that you
left behind in your wake when you departed

Do You Remember when I Asked You:
"Please Can We Make Peace Before You Leave?"
-and You turned around and coldly said:
"It Will Never Happen!!"
- and to this Day
The Situation Between Us is Still UnResolved !!
and That is Your Choice !!

Yes there are times when Forgivess is difficult
Yes there are times I would love
to 'Call You to Account'for your actions
Yes there are times I have the Urge to
make you Pay for what you made me suffer
Yes there are times I have the Urge
to Hit Back at you - Recently when
i was feeling low and in foul form
because of the lousey memories you
are responsible for leaving in your wake:
-I Compared what I was Experiancing to what
Odysseus Endured when He was Listening to
the Songs and Singing of the Sirens
-Likewise 'Moi'when i am in foul form
Remembering You at Your Worst - for It
is Dangerous to Dwell too Long
in Anger Hatred and Recrimination !!

Which is Why Forgiveness
is a Blessed Release !!!!
and a Blessed Liberation !!!!


Yes I have Free Will !!!!
- and when I have
Calmed down and
Come to my Sences !!!!

I Say:"Let Only What is Good Occurr"!!!!
and Often I Say a Prayer to God !!!!
of "Let There Be Forgivess for You" !!!!
Genuine True Scincere Forgivness !!!!




Anything Else ???? oh yeah once more
i feel obliged to 'waffle on about
matters/issues that are "Trivia Maybe" ????

-also

I Dislike Cosmetics -Ugh !!!
Make-up is a Total Turn-Off !!
[do you remember the place you worked at in Galway?
-you told me that you were uncomfertable with the
'smelly' products in the shop-i looked with interest
at you because: I am the Same as You !!!! - I figer in my own case
it is a form of chemical-hypersynsivity]Something else i do not like
about make-up/cosmetics is that they Hide
the Humanity of the Woman !!!!
they Obscure and Hide
the Innate Beauty that Women already have !!!!

You are Actually Very Attractive
in Your Natural State !!!!
You Actually are
a Very Good Looking Woman !!!!
So Please If We Ever Get Together ????
Please Be Your Naturaly Beautiful Self !!!!
I Like You as Nature Made You !!!!

You also have Other Positive Qualities !!!!
There is a Beauty of Spirit in You
that Often Shines Out in Your Writings !!!!
You actually Often are a Very Nice Friendly
Person who Often is entranced with Wonder at
the Beauty and Splendor of Our World and
the Various Experiances that Life Offers
I see You as a fellow Soul and a Spirit with
a Life Path full of Wonderfull Oppurtunities and Blessings !!!!

I have a Lot of Goodwill for You !!!!

I am going to have to Give up
adding to this Tedious Posting
[well actually I have changed my mind again
as you can see:'I am still at It']
Probebly Nobody Reads It Anyway !!
I have a long dismal history
of Foolishness and acting Unwisely
Consequently it is Time to Let Go !!!!
It is Time to hand Everything Over to God !!!!
my Ultimate Prayer in Relation
to You and I is:-
Only what is Good !!!!
Only what will have Good Consequences !!!!
Only what will have Good Consequences for All !!!!

I Believe in and I Pray to God !!!!
and I Believe that it is
Wisest to Let Go !!!!
and Wisest to Hand Everything
Over to the Will Wisdom and Love of God !!!!

God Bless You !!!!

Tá an Aimsir Inniú go h-Álainn !!!!

Today the Weather is Lovely!!!!

Thainig mé go luath maidin Inniú
(-I arrived Early this morning) which gave me Time to
Walk to my Favourite place in Spiddal. In the center of Spiddal
there is a crossroads;When and If I have the Time I like to walk to the Sea via the southern road which passes a very attractive Harbour where-on there are Traditional Irish fishing boats called Currachs.I like to walk past the Harbour wall out onto the granite rock formation that jutts out into the Sea.One can really walk way out untill One is surrounded on 3 sides by the Sea.-It is a Lovely Spot to stand and Breath in the Invigorating Sea Air and the View is Gorgeous !!!!

-By the Way:-The road to the north of the crossroads in the center of Spiddal very quickly brings One to the famous Music Pub
'Tigh Hughes'.-It is in 'Tigh Hughes' that the group De Danann began !!!!
-The Waterboys also used to live in Spiddal and recorded their C.D.'Fisherman's Blues'in the area.

As I Travelled to Spiddal this morning
I Reflected about what I could write and talk
about on this Blogg:-and To Be Honest
I Felt just about
everything I could Talk about is
Potentially Controversial.
I am Deliberately Endeavoring
to Avoid Controversy on this Blogg.
Which probebly Explains why it is So Boring!!
(probebly Nobody Reads this Blogg Anyway !!)
-Yet just in case Anybody Does Visit It?

Well It's Origional Purpose was a Platform
to Launch my Music Out into the World !!!!

I probebly should be doing other things
[such as playing and practising on the Piano
and Composing New Music !!!!] - rather than
'Waffling' away on this Blogg! - Up to Now
I have been Blogging on a regular basis.
- I Feel it is Time to Ease Off
and Only Blogg when I have
Anything of Worth to Say !!!!

The Haka the way the Maori say 'Hi' !!!!

On the front page
of Today's Irish Times
there is a photo of players from
New Zealand's World Famous
All Black's Rugby Football Team
doing the Maori 'Haka'before the game
-the Haka looks Scary and Treatening
yet it is just their Cute Quaint Way
of Saying 'Hi'!!!! - at the same time
there is a Message:Treat Us with Respect !!!!


Aon Rud eile a tharla inniu?
(anything else occur Today?)

We had a visit of Muscitions and Dancers
from Korea and a short while ago We were
Sharing Our Various Music Traditions.
One of the Korean Muscitions demonstrated
and Played for Us a Very Old, Very Rare
and Very unusual Korean Instruement
called a Seng-Hwang[or maybe it is spelled? Seng-Hweng?]
We had Our Korean Visiters Up and Trying Out Irish Dancing
One of Our Korean Visiters Sang a Korean Song whilst simultaneously
playing a traditional Korean violin style instruement.
Her Performance was Powerfull with Unexpected Sudden Bursts
of Intense Emotion that caught One out and
Woke One Up with Surprise again and again !!!!

Something Else that should Wake 'Moi' Up
is that it is Wet and Rainy Outside !!
As William Shakespeare declared 400-500 Years ago:
'With Wey Heigh the Wind and the Rain
For It Raineth Everyday'!!!!- and Indeed It Does Often !!!!
Over Here in Ireland We are Used to the Rain
So much So It Actually puts Many of Us in Good Form !!!!
It is Natural It is Familiar It Feels Cozy and Comfertable !!!!
Whereas when the Sun Shines it becomes a cause for Comment
and a Source of Wonder as in 'Wow!- It is Actually Sunny!'
Ireland would be Very Boreing
If it was Sunny All the Time
We would probebly Go 'Nuts'!
- Thank God for Our Blessed
Changeable Weather !!!!
Ireland would Not be Ireland
without Our Plentifull Supply of Rain
and We have So Many Varities and Types of Rain !!!!
The Rain is Beautifull !!!!
The Rain is Wonderfull !!!!

- I have to Dash - If I can I Will Return !!!!

It is Early Yet ....Shure I Might as Well Say a Few Words ..(A Few Words?-That Will Be the Day!!!!)

Today is a Lovely Bright
Sunny Day as I Look Out
the Window at the
Beauty of Galway Bay !!!!

In my previous endeavor/entry/addition to this 'Noble'(-Oh Really??)
Blogg - I Endeavored to dispense with my usual Habit
of Capital Letters in front of practicaly every Word.
Yeah I Acknowlwdge it is a 'Nuts'Way
to attempt to communicate:- I suppose the reoson I do it is because Words
are Important to me:-I Love the Feel of Them !!!!

As for this Blogg ????
-I will try to make it interesting and entertaining to read in future
-Also up to now my habit has been to put a Posting Up at least Once a week
[even when I have very little to Say!]-I Feel that is a Mistake!
- So in Future my Intention is to Blogg
Only when I have Anyhing of Worth to Say !!!!

The Origional Purpose of Setting Up
and Starting this Blogg was as a Platform
to Launch my Music Out into the World !!!!

In Brief:- the Story of the past 24 hours:-

Yesterday night after I withdrew from Blogging on the Computer;
I Wandered about the beautifull City of Galway.
- There was a Full Moon in a clear sky
last night and the air was crisp.
Frequently I glanced and gazed up at the Full Moon,and I Thought with a warm friendly Smile of Goodwill to Herself -!!!!:
- Wishing Her Well and saying "God Bless You" !!!!
- There is a Song by an Irish Singer[Cara Dillon]which is titled
"Wherever You are ? - I Wish You Well" and Indeed I Do !!!!
Later on I Repaired the Zip on my much beloved green hiking jackette[-all things considered a 'touch and go'achievement as I tranfered the attachement part of a Zip from an Old unused item of clothing;-It just about does the job!]
This morning I arrived Early in Spiddal,- so I had Time to Wander about the Sea-shore
It was a brilliantly beautifull bright sunny morning and the Tide was Out as I Scrambled down a Rock-face that is normally submerged under 20ft of sea water.
It was very Peacefull and Pleasant and I was in a Good Mood and in a relaxed way my thoughts turned Gently to Herself and of course I Wished Her Well !!!!
About midday[-whilst everybody else was having a lunch break I was alone in the Recording Studio]- New Music came to me as I touched the Keys of the Grand Piano !!!!
- I was Excited and Happy as the Melody developed !!!! [- I have my own invented idiosyncratic method of Writing Music onto Paper:- I Count the ivory keys from the Left side and I Jot down the Numbers eg:-for example Today I Started at the 17th Key from the Left on the Grand Piano and I Simultaneously placed another finger on the
21st Key;which Gave me a Pleasant Basic Chord to Play with my Left hand.- As for the First Note with the Right hand? - It was the 26th from the Left and Out of All that
a Beautifull Melody developed into 3 parts - It felt Good !!!! - an Achievement in comparison to what occurred the previous day[the 11th]:Yesterday 3 Good Melodies came to me at 3 Seperate occasions as I 'Tinkered'without any effort on the Piano.
- Yet when I returned to the Piano later on:-I had completely Forgotten the Melodies
Even though my fingers Hovered Over the Same arrangement of Keys !! - The Experiance makes me Wonder about The Emotions and Feelings involved in Music Composition
and Yes Also the Element of the Spiritual.
- Often when New Music comes :-
- Often It is an Outward Surge of the Spirit !!!!
and We had a Séan-Nos Singing/Song Workshop Today where that Theme of the Music coming from the Soul was mentioned and It being Indevidual to Each Performer whatever Version is Sung. - Afterwards I Travelled into Galway
and though the Sky is Overcast Tonight,
at Least it is relatively dry[- I say "relatively dry" at least for Ireland,
for of course Ireland being Ireland there is often as always some form of Moisture about!] Anyway I return to Spiddal tommorow.
- On Today's Posting on the Blog
- I have Endeavored to Type/Write 'Normal' !!!!

as for Tommorow ????
I do Not know will I have
Access to a Computer or Not ????
If Not ???? Maybe it will be Next week
when I next get to Update this Blog !!!!
Until than [or whenever?]

God Bless You All !!!!

If I Get the Oppurtunity I Will Talk about Lots of Topics

Usually when I 'Plonk'
myself in Front
of a Computer Screen
Often I Go Blank !
- as Often I Haven't
a Clue 'What to Talk About'

- Yet When I am
'Out and About'
I Often Have Lots
of Ideas about
What to Talk About

- Life in Ireland Today
- Languages I am Interested in
- Music and Music Composition
- Foreign Travel

As for the Previous Posting ????
[- about Herself and Myself] ????

To Be Honest:- I am Trying to Let Go
- I am Trying to Move On
It is Not Easy Though
Because Everything Reminds me of Her

Truely I Wish
That the Situation
Between Us
Could Be Resolved !!!!

Ideally It Would Be Good
If We Could Meet in Person !!!!

- however it seems
Unlikely that it will Occurr
- because We are Seperated
by 1000's of Kilometers

-As for a Dialogue via
an Exchange of Letters ????

Probebly She is Unwilling !!

Anything Else that Could Help ??
Is there Anything that Could
Improve the Situation ????

- Yes There Is !!!!

A Simple Message
of Goodwill from Her
Would Be Very Wellcome !!!!

Often I Reflect Upon ....

Often I Reflect Upon
What Occurred
Between Herself
and Myself when She
was in Ireland

We Met on the
4th of August 2001
She Left Ireland
in Early 2002

Initially it
Was Good
Between Us ...
I felt that I had met
Someone Very Special !!!!
I felt that I had met
Someone I could Regard
and Value as a
Friend for Life !!!!


This Entry in my Blogg
Is "Work in Progress"
in the sence that
I am still Working
on writing as Comprehensive
an Account of what Occurred
and as Accurate an Account
of How I Feel about Her Today !!!!
Before I Go any further in All
that I can and could Talk about
I just wish to Declare that
I scincerely am Aiming
for the Very Best of
All Possible Eventualites !!!!
That I Believe in Goodness !!!!
and I Do Believe in Love !!!!
and If the Ultimate Act of Love
that I could Ever Give Her
is to Let Go ????
- Than So Be It !!!!

Origionally this Entry to the Blogg
was Started on the 7th of November
as I write It is Now thursday the 27 th November'08
and I am Still Adding to It
-Why ? - Because I Often Think of Her !!!!
- Because in my Prayers I am Aiming
for an Outcome that is the
Ultimate Good for the Two of Us !!!!

I Consider All Possible Eventualities ????
and Only What is Good is Wellcome !!!!

I Do Genuinely Care about Her !!!!
Her Happieness Her Wellbeing
Do Matter and Are Important
in whatever Ultimate Outcome !!!!



Now I Acknowledge
a Lot of Confusion
about what is Possible ????
and Also Incomprehension
about Whatt Occurred
when She Lived in Ireland


When I first met Her
I Realised this is
Someone Unique and Very Rare !!!!
This is Someone Significant !!!!
I Felt Very Safe(:in that I
could Talk to Her about
Anything - That I could
Be 100% Open and Honest with Her !!!!)
I also Felt Very Comfertable
in Her Company !!!!
and there were So Many
Little Items about Her
that I Liked !!!!
I Smiled Often
with Affection !!!!





[-in Hindsight:
though I did Not
realise it at the Time
I Believe that I fell
in Love with Her !!!!]

Yet Sadly We Fell Out
over Really Very Little !!
and If We had
Talked to One Another ????
Truely I Believe We
could have Cleared Up
what had caused Us
to Fall Out !!

Subsequently
I Made Many
Unsucessful Attempts
to Make Peace with Her
She Used to Lash Out in Anger
when I Tryed to Reach Out to Her

I was Shocked and Bewildered
at Her Anger
at Her Rudeness
at How Little She "Cared"
about my Feelings
It was a Very Distressing Time
I could Not Understand
Her Hostility

Because there was
Once a Time
when We were Good Friends !!!!
Once there was a Time
when there was Mutual Trust !!!!
Once there was a Time
when We could
Talk to One Another !!!!


To This Very Day
Often It Still Adversely Affects Me
Especially When
I am Feeling Down or Low

The Situation
Between Us
Was Never Resolved

All I Asked of Her
was "Please Can We
Arrange to Meet and
have a Talk about
What has Occured Between Us?"

Today We Are
Seperated by 1000's of
Actual Kilometers

Realistically (Other
than via E-Mail)the
Only Way We Could
Resolve What Occured
Between Us :
= Would Be
A Dialogue
Via Letters !!!!

[-This Actual Posting on my Blogg is Not Well Written
because The Issue Itself is Very Complicated also there is a
Lot of Noise and Activity about as I Endeavour to Communicate]


Today How Do I Feel About Her ????

- If It Was Possible
To Gentley Lovingly Affectionally Hug Embrace Her ????
- Yes !!!! Yes !!!! Yes !!!! Yes !!!!
- I Would with Utter Joy !!!!
- For I Still Love Her !!!!

Because I Still Have
Positive Friendly
Loving Feelings For Her !!!!
and in my Prayers
I Do Wish Her Well !!!!

Yet Also in my Prayers
I am Asking Almighty God
to Please Faciletate
and to Please Allow
Reconciliation Between Us !!!!

If However that It is the Will of God
that I Let Her Go !!!!
and Accept that It is Over ????
Than So Be It !!!!

Whatever is in the Ultimate Good ????
So May it Be !!!!
With the Blessing and the Love of God !!!!

Is Nuacht Maith É !!!! = It is Good News !!!!

Anseo Tá Áthas Againn
ar an Nuacht Mhaith
áta ag teacht as
na Stát Aontaithe !!!!

Over Here We All
Wellcome the Election
of Barack Obama !!!!

It is Good News !!!!

Thank You to
All the Good People in America
Who Voted for Barack Obama !!!!

The Whole World is
Saying Thank You !!!!

For Now It is Time to Move On

Today is a Big Day
for America and for the World

Everybody is Hoping for
and Praying for Positive Change !!!!

Happy Birthday Tamara !!!!

Dearest Tamara !!!!
Today is your Birthday
- I Wish You
a Very Happy Birthday !!!!



Now Ideally Probebly
I Should leave it
with the Above Simple
Message of Goodwill !!!!
- Yet 'Shure while I am at It:-

I might as Well Wish
You Even More Goodwill !!!!

[yet at the same time
I Scincerely Hope that I
am Not being too Excessive:
as in'Over the Top'
too Effusive in my Endeavor
to Say and to Demonstrate
to You Dearest Tamara
the Goodwill and Love
I Often Feel for You !!!!]

It is said that:
Understatement is Often
More Effective in Communication
Certainly I Should Try It !!!!

In Truth I Often Do
Feel Very Inarticulate
That is Why I Overdo it
with So many Words

Anyway Please
Forgive me
If what follows
is Maybe Way
Too Excessive ?
-and Please
Realise that
I Truely Truely
Wish You Very Well !!!!


So in All Future
Years to Come !!!!
May You Tamara
Experiance Many More
Very Happy Birthdays !!!!


On this Your
Special Day !!!!
I Wish You
Dearest Tamara
a Very Happy
Joyfull Birthday !!!!

May God Always
Bless You Tamara !!!!
with Happieness !!!!!
with Love !!!!
and with
Plenty of Goodness !!!!

Happy Birthday Tamara !!!!

Always and Forever
with Goodwill !!!!
and Love !!!!

God Bless You Tamara !!!!

A Few Words

The Content of this Blogg at prescent is Rather Banal and Dare I Say?-Boring !!
and 'Much Ado about Nothing'- So Why Do I Bother ??
- Well To Show Some Sign of Life
'Shure Tis Better to Say Something
Rather than Say Nothing !!!!
Spoken like a True Irishman !!!!
-for I come from a Country
of Incredible Talkers !!!!

Honest to Goodness though
I Do get irretated by the
Blight of Mobile Phones !!
[in America they refer to
those gadgets as 'Cellphones']
I was in a Bookshop Recently
Browsing amongst the Books
and Again and Again my Peace
was Disturbed by People
speaking out Loud and at
Lenght on their 'Mobiles'
Honest to Goodness It was
Driving me 'Round the Twist'
Eventually I Fled out onto
the Main Street and Everywhere
People Talking into those
Obnoxious Gadgets !!

Any Good News ????
- well I am Enjoying
Playing my New "Clarkes"
Old Fashioned Old Style
'Penney Whistle'
It Has a Lovely Sound !!!!

The Weather is Good Today !!!!
Thank God !!!!

More About the Profile and Other Matters

It Pleases me when People
Visit my Podcasts !!!!

Often I wonder who these
People are ????

Also I wonder about those
who visit the Blogg ????

The Items in the
'Interests'Area
of the Personal Profile
probebley should more
Correctly be Refered
Too as:- Aspirations !!!!

Probebly I should more
properly describe myself
as a 'Music-maker'
rather than the more
High-falluting "Laudy-dah"
Presumtious Title of 'Composer'

My Access at Present
to the Internet
is Often Only
Once a Week

I Bought a New Whistle Today
[in Powells of the
Four Corners Music Shop]
It is Classic Old Style
"Clarke"Origional Tin Whistle
in the Key of D.

The Key in Music that
I Am Most Comfertable
Playing in is the
Key of "C" !!!!

I am visiting
Galway City Today !!!!

Rochtain ar an Idirlion?/Access to the Internet ???? -also The Concert went very well !!!!

The Concert on the 9th went very well !!!!
and the Solo I Played
was very well recieved
People came up to me
Afterwards and Praised
the Air I Played !!!!

My Access to the Internet is Irregular
and Unpredictable these days
and there are Often Noisey Distractions
going on All the Time
Constantly Interfering with my
Ability to "Concentrate"
on whatever I am
Waffling on about

- Honestly I Do Wonder
Am I a Classic Example
of 'Attention Defficiency Syndrome'????
It takes very Little
to Knock me of my
Metaphorical Trolley !!

..which ..have to Rush for now
...will Return !!!!

- the few interupted words
I just wrote up above is an Example
and an Indecation(-is that Spelt correctly?)
of what it is like for me these days
in relation to Internet Access
a brief snatched moment here and there
a quick dash a few hectic "Words"
hastily fired off !!
It Certainly is Not condusive to
Elegant Writing !!

Is there Any Good News ????

There are New Airs
and Melodies Coming
Everyday !!!!
and I am recording
as many as I can
Certainly I have Plenty
for a New Podcast !!!!
-as for When ????
I would Require
at least a few days Free
to enable me to
Concentrate on
Doing a Proper Job
-because Once it is Up
on the Internet
It is Up !!!!

Inniu beidh Ceolchoirm/We Play a Concert Today !!

Inniu sa gCeathru Rua beimuid ag casadh Ceol
i Ceolchirm sa Acadamh na h-Ollscoile

Today We will be playing a lunchtime Concert
at the Acadamh[-it is an Irish Language branch
of N.U.I.G.(Galway University)in Carraroe

I Will be playing a 'Solo' melody:-
[-which is on my Podcast:'Ag Tosa Ceol 3'
there is an Air called
"Na h-Oilean Inse Gaill"
- which is Irish for the:
"The Hebrides"]- It is an Air
that came to me when I was out walking
in Ros Muc on the 8th of August '08
- I call it "Na h-Oilean Inse Gaill"
because It Reminds me of the Way
I heard Music being played when I
visited The Hebrides in 2000
There is a Scots Gallic speaking
Community up in the north of the
Island of Lewis whose Local People
have a Big Heart and whose Muscitions
Played Wonderfull Music for a group
of Us from Conamara who were visiting.

I am Really Pleased
that People are
Listening to
my 4 Podcasts !!!!
- I am Very Gratefull
to All those People
Who take the Time
and Who make the Effort
to Listen to the Music !!!!
I Hope They Enjoy the Music
and I Hope it is Worth
Their While Listening !!!!

Thank You Everybody !!!!
Thank You for Listening !!!!
God Bless Every
Wonderfull One of You !!!!

As for:'How is Life?'
Everyday is Different!
The Weather is also changeable
We seem to alternate constantly
between Plenty of Rain
and Surprisingly Gorgeous
Sunny Bright Days

People are Good !!!!

Life is Good !!!!

and Truely
God is Wonderfull !!!!

There is a Saying:You Are What You Say You Are!!

Today I Spoke to the Prople
in charge of the Music course
and I Explained my Worries and Concerns
I said that:-"I felt like
I am out of my league -that
I am Not a Good Muscition
and that I am Worried that
I am Letting People Down"

They were very Nice and Reassured
me that I am Well Regarded
and Very Wellcome on the Course
That my Imagination is Exceptional !!!!

Afterwards I Feel
I Should Make an Effort
to Say More Positive Affirmations
to Myself such as:
"I am Able for this Course"
"I am Becoming a Better Muscition" !!!!

With Positive Affirmations
The Important Words to Use
are:- I Am !!!!

Ceard ata faoi siúl? (= what is going on?)

At Prescent
my Morale is Low !!
Mearbhach = Bewildered !!!!
gently describes
How I am these days.
Very Stressed Out
Challenged Stretched
is a more Accurate description
Yesterday 1st October
I felt so Low and Unable:
I Wisely Took the Day Off !!!!

By Nature I am
a Quite Peacefull Person
and Yesterday[the day I took off]
-I was able to Be myself !!!!
-and Music Came to me !!!!
-I was Singing !!!!
-because I Felt Good !!!!


How I feel these Days is like
[and maybe could be a Reflection of?]
the Constantly Changing Unpredictable Weather
We Often Experiance
here in Ireland !!!!

- I Do Not
Like to Let People Down !!!!

There are many People of Goodwill
who wish me Well and who are Happy
that I am Doing this course in Music
I am Afraid to Disappoint Those
Who Are of Goodwill to me
I have No wish
to Let People down
Many People Expect a Lot
out of me and I am Afraid
that I am Unable to Deliever !!

Yes I Sure Do have "The Blues"
I Sure Need to Cheer Up !!!!

Everyday is Different !!!!
So Hopefully
Life will Improve !!!!
It is Important to
Be Positive !!!!
It also helps to
have Faith in God !!!!

Today I am visiting Galway

Yesterday[friday]went very well !!!!
It was Peacefull !!!!
-and of course the Weather
was Lovely !!!!
In Ireland(and the U.K.)
We call this time
of year:- Autumn
In the Irish Language the Word
We call this Time of year
is:- An Fomhair

Yesterday We had an Uilleann Piper
in to Talk to Us about His Craft in Music Making
He brought in about 30 to 40 Varied Instruements
3 Sets of Uilleann Pipes
The Oldest was from the 1770's
the Next Oldest was from the 1840's
I looked on with Wonder,Awe
and Admiration as He Expertly Played
and Demonsrated to Us the Range of Sounds
the Uilleann Pipes are Capable Off !!!!
-as I watched Him Play the Pipes
I Wondered about the Previous Owners
These Pipes have been passed through
History from Generation to Generation
-Imagine the Circunstances,Occassions when these Pipes
were played in the Past?
-It makes me Wonder about
All the People who have Heard
these Historic Instruements !!!!

We were allowed to Try out His other
various assorted wind instruements
from All over the World
I was fascinated by an Intruement
from Norway that looks like
a Walking Stick:-It Produces
an Amazing Sound when Played !!!!
I also enjoyed and I Liked
the Sound that I was able to
Play on a Bamboo Whistle !!!!

The Weather was lovely Yesterday
which put Everybody
in Good Form !!!!

Phew !! what a Week !!!!

It is Only a Few Days ago scince I last Posted a Blogg
Honestly It Feels like Ages Aeons ago !!!!

Well I have had my First Row on the New course !!
It was a Personality Clash !!
It was Upseting !!
-and Yes I am Aware that:
"It Takes Two to Tango"

The past few Days have been
full of 'Ups and Downs'

To Be Honest at Times
I Do Wonder:
"What am I Doing
on this course ????"

Maybe I am Too
'Flipin'Serious ??
I need to Lighten Up !!!!

It Sure Helps
Afterwards to See the
Other Pereson's
Point of View

A Sence of Humour
is a Blessing
and a Liberation!!!!

Nuacht Nua (= Latest News re: Life)

On Tuesday 16th I started on the New Course in Music !!!!

There is a Good Varied group of People attending it !!!!

We are All Irish Language Speakers
-and because We are in the Conamara Gaeltacht
the Course is Taught and Conducted
through Gaeilge
The Irish Language !!!!

The Course in Music is in Spiddal
(10kms west of Galway City,along the Coast road
with a Faboulous View of Galway Bay !!!!)
There is a Recording Studio [that has a Grand Piano !!!!)
with many rooms-where We Do our Music Education.
As well as studying and playing
Irish Traditional Music;
We are also Doing workshops
in Creativity and Imagination
- also We are doing a module
in Sound Engineering[that will include
mixing and Composing on computer]
There will be at least Two Concerts
We will be expected to Perform.
This is an Opportunity
to Work,Play and Create with
Other Music Makers:-and
It is Really Looking Good !!!!

There is a Really Good
Friendly Atmosphere !!!!

In my previous posting
I talked of going for a Swim
-and Indeed I did Swim
Out to Fweenish island!!!!
and the Swim was Most Enjoyable !!!!
and Invigorating !!!!
- and I felt Great afterwards !!!!

Often Life is an Adventure !!!!

Today the Weather is Bright and Sunny !!!!
Life is Good !!!!
God is Good !!!!
and God is Great !!!!

Thank You God !!!!

A few words about the purpose of this Blog

Origionaly I was searching for somehow to get a personal website up;and even better to Get samples of the Music that I have accumulated Up and Out into the Wider World.
-and Thank God I have Suceeded in that Objective !!!!

There are Now 4 Podcasts of Music at:-
http://agtosaceol.mypodcast.com/

The Actual Title 'Ag Tosa Ceol' is Not Grammaticaly
Correct Irish[or Gaeilge]
If it was Spelt Correctly?
- It should be:- "Ag Tosú Ceoil" !!!!
However I was in such a Rush and I figered it would be Too Complicated for Non-Irish Speakers to Access either my Podcasts [or my blog]
- So I descided to Keep it Simple
which explains the way it is Spelt

The Meaning of the Words 'Ag Tosa Ceol'
is:- "Starting,Begining Music"



Is there anything else to Talk about ??
In Ireland We Often Talk about the Weather:-
- We have had a Very Wet Summer
(-that has seemed Never-ending !!)

So Some Good News:
- A Few moments ago(12.20 pm noon/miday)I ventured out for some Fresh Air
and a Walk and
Wonders of Wonders:The Sun was Out
Yes Bright and Sunny !!!!
Oh Happy Day !!!!

There is an island nearbye:
Fweenish island with
Beautiful Sandy Beachs
Today I Might Go for a Swim
Out to Fweenish ????

Anything Else ?? Any Other News ??
- a short while ago I was told
that I am Wellcome on a New Course
in Irish Traditional Music!
-To Be Honest:- I am Nervous
Anxious,Apprehensive about it All
- because I was also told that my
Standard as a Muscition is Not Good Enough
[To be Honest: - That is the Truth!]
and that they were Reluctant to Offer me a Place!!
-this course is going to Involve a Lot of Commuting:
60 kms roundtrip everyday !!-and that is Scary!!
-also the Financial Exspence of it All is Intimadating !!

The Course in Music Starts on
Tuesday 16th September

To Be Honest:
I have been going through
a Lot of Depression Recently !!
I Just Feel Very Down !!
I feel like 'chickening-out' !!
It feels like a Mistake !!
I Do Not Know Am I Up to
the Demands of this Course ????
Why Did I Apply for this Course ????
- because there is a Module in Composing !!!!

To Be Honest:
I Do Not Know What to Do ????

Other than
Go for a Swim !!!!
Certainly a Swim will
Cheer me Up !!!!

A few words about the Items in the Profile

At Times I do wonder is it Folly on my part ?
- attempting to Explain myself
For the Truth is:-
I actually Do Feel Very Inarticulate !!

There is a sence of Unease and Embarrasment on my part Talking about my Spiritual and Religious Beliefs;
because It is Deeply Personal
and I am Still Trying to Figer it All Out !!!!
- To Say One believes in God usually/often implies that the person is some sort of 'fanatic''fundementalist' with Rigid Views ete ete -
- and the Truth in my Own Personal Case is:-
that I am very Unsure and Utterly Non-Doctrinaire!
[-in fact I am Incredibly Free-Thinking about it All !!!!]
A Spiritual Understanding of Reality is Important to me in relation to the Practicalites of Day to Day Living !!!!

I am a big Fan of "The Game of Life"
[by Florence Scoval Shinn]
especially the Concept of
The Divine Design:-
If it is True ????
It is Wonderfull !!!!
and Very Wellcome !!!!
especially the Concept of
-'Pervect Self Expression'-
which in my case appears to be
Music - Composing Music !!!!
All my Life I have been aware that I have a Gift !!!!
- and it has surfaced occasionaly!
However scince I came upon
"The Game of Life" my Gift in Music
has Flowered and Flourished scince I have
Asked for the Divine Design
in my Life to Manifest !!!!

On a Humourous Note:-I have a copy of
"The complete idiot's guide to Meditation"
It is all safely wrapped up and I have yet to Study it
I Do believe that Meditation is Potentially usefull
Beneficial even !!!!

My favourite form of Recreation is Browsing in Libraries !!!!
I Love visiting Libraries !!!!

My Dream Car is the classic Iconic French Citroen 2CV !!!!
[It is Comical my talking about my 'Dream Car' considering I Do Not even have a driving licence!]-However
It is Good to have Dreams and Aspirations !!!!

New Zealand is a Country that I am Curious about:
-I suppose because
it is so far away from Ireland
[literaly it is the Other side of Planet Earth]
-The Climate seems to be similar to Ireland.I like[and I empatise with]the Films of Jane Campion[who is from New Zealand(and who is famous for 'The Piano')]
- A Film from N.Z.[not by jane campion] is the Film 'Whale Rider'
which is about the Maori[the Native People of N.Z.]Culture.
It is Worth Viewing !!!!

Farewell for Now(or at least for Awhile)

Ta 4 Phodchraoladh ar fail ar:
[there are 4 podcasts of Music at:]
http://agtosaceol.mypodcast.com/


Ireland is one of the few countries in the World that has for It's National Symbol a Musical Instrument:in Ireland Our National Symbol is
"An Cláirseach"=The Harp !!!!
The Harp is a very old symbol for Ireland;it's Origion may be connected to the storey of Amergin who came to Ireland a long time ago.Amergin is Famous for "The Song of Amergin"(and if You 'google'the word'Amergin'there is plenty of Information;there is even a Wikiepedia!)-well One might Wonder:"What am I on about?"
Ireland is a Very Old Country,with a Very Old Civilization;Our Ancient Past(through Our Language and the Old Stories and Legends)still Connects Too and Influences Life in Ireland Today !!!!


- Music is Central to Who I am !!!!
-It Really means a Lot to me that People Listen to the Music !!!!
-I am So Gratefull to All who make the Effort !!!!
There is a possibility that If I explain too much about Peripheral aspects about myself?-it might put People Off Listening to the Music ???? Maybe It is a Mistake upon my part to be Talking/Speaking/Writing about my Personal Beliefs,Eccentricities,Idiosyncrasies
[ad infinitum]?- Maybe it is a Weakness?-Maybe It is a lapse of Judgement upon my part ?? However my excuse is that after filling out the 'Profile' on this Blog:-I feel compelled to Give a further fuller explanation for those brief words that describe my Interests.In matters that could best be described as relating to Spiritual/Religiuos Belief:- I am Actually Very Relaxed/Moderate/Easy-Going/Free-Thinking - 'Keep it Simple' is my motto![-most certainly I am Not a Fundementalist!!]
-I am very Gentle about it All !!!!

Is there anything else?

-Often I Wonder:-"How Do People actually Get together?"
-Is Love at First Sight a Myth?
-Or Does It[Love at First Sight] Really Occur?
-Will I Ever be Fortunate and Blessed in Love?
At this stage I can Understand and Forgive Any who Laugh and find Amusing my 'Ramblings'and Utterances about Coupledom and Love !!!!

As for All this 'Silly Talk' about 'Farewell'?? Well I am Feeling Sad because of a Lot of Unwellcome Events that have Erupted in my Life!! - Experiance Tells me that it Will All Blow Over:'That Life is Often as Changeable as the Weather !!!!
Today I put more Spiritualy Inclined Entries to my profile on this Blog:because in Times of Crisis and Upheavel Spiritual Wisdom Really Prooves It's Worth !!!!
Spirtual Wisdom is Actually Very Pragmatic and Effective !!!!- The Utter Simplicity of the Christian Message:Love! Forgive! Be Non-Judgemental!! Believe and Trust in God !!!! At prescent I am reading two Books that are Spiritual:"How to Know God"[by Deepak Chopra]and "Follow Your Heart"[by Susanna Tamaro]
-I Experiance Faith in God as Liberating and Beneficial !!!!
God is the Ultimate in Love Goodness and Wisdom !!!!


'To Be Honest I Do Not Know when or if I will next get the Oppurtunity to Write Another Blog ?? Certainly I Will Write More Blogs in the Future when[and if?]the oppurtunity is available!-As for Future Podcasts ?[if any?]
I have 100's of Airs and Melodies[of Varying Quality and Developement] to choose from and Yes I would Love to Share them with Other People:-If I Do Any Future Podcasts?-I Will Take my Time[it will be done over months]and I Will Be Aiming for Quality !!!!

Tá "Ag Tosa Ceol 4" Thuás !!!!

Tá an Phodchraolach Nua thuás !!!!

Failte go Ag Tosa Ceol 4

The 4th Podcast is Up !!!! Thank God !!!!

Tá Dochas agam go mbeidh Ag Tosa Ceol 4 thúas amarach !!!!

Tá Dochas agam go mbeidh 'Ag Tosa Ceol 4' thúas amarach le Cunamh agus Beannacht Dé

Tá an Taifead deanta !!!!

If All Goes Well ?? 'Ag Tosa Ceol 4' Will Be Up Tommorow 26th !!!!
The Compilation is Completed(-the Majority of the Recording was Accomplished Yesterday Sunday 24th !!!!)

-Of All the Podcasts:This[the 4th]is the most Rushed and and most Put Together at the Very Last Minuit!-For a week in advance I had been trawling through my Tapes endeavoring to Select Airs and Melodies for the Podcast:- However as I "proceeded"?-I became increasingly disheartened,depressed,frustrated and Confused at my Inability to Select the Music for the 4th Podcast[the majority of the Music 'that Comes' to me:has No 'I.D.' ,Name or Title;and consequently it is very hard to 'Keep Track'of it all when Compiling these Podcasts.-In Ireland We have a saying:-'That it is like trying to Herd Mice at a crossroads!']

-It Will Be my Final Podcast for Now !

- Yet Maybe at Some Future Time I Will Compile a New Recording ????

-I have a God Given Gift in Music !!!!
and I Wish to Share my Gift with the World !!!!

Tá an Phodchraolach Nua, Ag Tosa Ceol 3

thuas Anois !!!!

The New Podcast, Ag Tosa Ceol 3

It has been Tough Hard Work Recording the Music and I am going to take a Rest for Awhile !!!!

Yet I Do have Plenty of Music Available for a Future Podcast !!!!

Cupla Smaointe ar abhar mó Céad Seachtain

Tá mé seachtain amhain anois ar an bhóthair leis an Bhlog seo agus freisin mó Ceol amach ar an Idirtlion faoi an Slí Phodcraolach.Tá sé mar a cheanna le Scríbhneoir a Céad Leabhair a chuir amach sa Domhain nó freisin mar a cheanna Tuismitheoir agus a Céad Leanbh a teacht go dtí an tSaol !!!! -Tá go leor Ceol Eile agam chun chuir amach; agus nuair a bheidh an Deis agam ?-Ba Bhrea liom an Ceol Eile a Chuir amach:-Tá an iomairce Ceol agam chun 'Ag Tosa Ceol 3 agus a 4'
le chuir le cheile! Ba Bhrea liom Fuaim Bóg leis mó Ceol agus mar sin Caithfidh mé h-Úirlisí Nua(mar shampla Piano) a fhail nuair a bheidh an am agus an Deis agam!
D'Tigim Níl Gaeilge ag cuile duine mar sin Cupla Focal as Bearla ar an Abhar seo

Not everybody Understands Gaeilge(Irish)
- so a few words:-'as Bearla'(in English)
I am only a Week so far on this Blog and what a week it has been !!!!-It means a Lot to me to be able to Podcast(-I am up on Mypodcast.com as:- agtosaceol)Samples of some of the Music 'that has Come to me' 'Out of the Air' as We say in Ireland.-I Acknowledge that my Presentation of the Music is Unsophisticated(to an 'Ultra-Amateur'degree)-yet I Believe that these Melodies have Potential in the right hands(as in Better Muscitionship or Better Instruements!)-when It comes to Actually Playing Music I like a Soft Sound and certainly I should Invest in New Instruements:and especially a Piano!-The Irish Tin Whistle is a Simple yet Versatile Musical Instruement(if Played Properly!-for example Mary Bergin is a Superb Maestro on the 'Feadóg')-I am interested in Upgrading my Whistles and because I like a Soft Sound?-I am investigating what is available in 'Wooden-Whistles'!-Over the years many Melodies have 'Come' to me Usually when I am Out Walking or engaged in some physical Activity that envoves Movement!-I have enough Melodies to Compile an 'Ag Tosa Ceol 3 and 4' once I can find the Time and the Oppurtunity;-so I am Hoping to be able to Podcast more Melodies in the Future !!!!

Podchraoladh

Nuacht Nua le Phodchraolach 3 agus 4

Thosaigh mé ar an Taifead Nua.Ar an am seo anois tá 4 nó 5 Siansa cuirtha ar an Taifead Nua agus beidh go leor Obair agam le deanamh chun é a chríochnaigh !!

On Sunday August 3rd I Recorded the First 4 Melodies/Airs for 'Ag Tosa Ceol 3 and 4' and I am Hoping to Podcast '3 and 4' before the beginning of this September.

So far it is 'tough going' because I am a Pervectionist in relation to the Music:-For example I must have Attempted to record the 4th Air/Melody at least 20 times on Sunday;and than on Monday 4th to discover that It was already on 'Ag Tosa Ceol 1'-After all that Work I had to Delete It and Replace It !!-I just Shrugged my shoulders and Got on with It and Certainly in the circumstances It does help to have a scence of Humour and to be Philisophical about it All -!!!!

On 'Ag Tosa Ceol 1 and 2' I was recording mainly from memory and it was a very rushed "production"-and of course it is Embarrasing for me to Listen to what I Played and Prescented !!
However the Melodies and Airs are Good !!!! and They have Potential if Played with Feeling,Imagination,Scencitivity and Creativity !!!!

This Time around I am moving much more slowly -Yet Though I am Doing my Best It is still Embarrassing and far from Ideal !! and the Harder I Try the Worse It Sounds !!

Paradoxically the Music Sounds Very Well when I Stop Endeavoring for Pervection !!
Usually when the Music Sounds Good -It is because I am Relaxed and Enjoying what is Unfolding !!!! -It Happens Best of All without conscious deliberate effort !! -It is as Effortless and as Natural and as Gentle as Breathing !!!! and It is a Joy when It Occurrs !!!!

-There is Good News in that New Melodies and Airs are 'Coming to me'(as I am Recording) and I will be Including them on the New Podcasts -!!!!

A Few Words from a New Arrival on Blogger.com

The New Blog Opens(with the Posting of 'wednesday 25th of June 2008)and is Written in the Irish Language(-'Gaeilge'which is over 2ooo years old!)=because I am living in the Conamara Gaeltacht(-the 'Gaeltacht' is the Irish Language word We use in Ireland to describe an Area where Gaeilge is the Primary Language that is Spoken by the the Majority of People Everyday! )
-What Introduced me to Blogger.com was a Reccomendation from 'wikiHow':- I was Researching Ways and Means as to How I could Podcast.-I have a Gift in Music -Truely it is a Blessing from God !!!! :- in that on a Regular Basis Music is Coming to me !! and I am Recording as much as I can on Old style Audio Cassettes on a Hand held Dictaphone.-Yes I Acknowledge it is a Primative and Basic Way to Proceed!-yet One has to Do what One can!(-by the way whilst I am engaged in 'Acknowleging':-I am Aware that I Over Do the Use of Capital Letters in front of many Words (-I Suppose because for me Words are Important!) -yet I Apologise to Any Reader who may experiance difficulty in Reading what I Write!-I Promise I shall in Future endeavor to restrain my regretable Overindulgence in the misuse of 'C'apital Letters !!

I am interested in podcasting a compilation of samples of the music that has 'come to me'-The audio quality of what I have already compiled is very rudementary and truely could be described as equivalent to a 'field-recording'!!-I am well aware that I have a long way to go!

The translation of the Irish Language title of my Blog site is = "Begining Music"
(ag Tosa='begining'or'starting' Ceol=Music) I am only Begining -I am only Starting Out !!

Tá Bhronntanas agam í Ceol: Arís agus Arís gan aon iarracht ar bith -Tá Ceol ag teacht liom
'As an Aer' (mar a deirimuid in Éirinn!) agus Tá mise ag deanamh an iarracht chun an Ceol a chuir ar Táifead.Tá go leor Obair le deanamh ar an Ceol chun é a Feabhsú agus a Forbairt.

Ar an am seo Tá mise ag Obair sa bhealach Aonarach -ach Sílim bheidh sé a mhaid níos fearr chun bheith Chomhoibriú le cheile le Ceoltóiraí Eile.Tá mé go deimhin cinnte Níl mo Caighdeán nó mó Cáilíocht mar Ceoltóir go maith; agus freisin Caithfidh mé h-Uirlisí Nua a cheannach!
Ba Bhrea liom go leor don Cheol seo a chasadh ar an Pianó nó Méarchlár; agus freisin í mó Samhlaíocht is feidir liom an Ceol seo a fheiceál a chasadh le h-Uirlisí agus Ceoltóirí Eile!

Tá an Ceol ata ag teacht liom mar a cheanna an Ceol Clasaiceach, an Ceol Jazz, agus freisin ó am go am ar Ceol Féin ar Ceol Traidisiúnta!

Nuair a bhíonn an Deis agam Ba bhrea liom an Ceol a Chuir amach ar an Idirlíon

Ar an am seo Níl mé ach ag an Tosach nó ag Tosadh amach leis an Ceol !-is é sin an fath ata mé ag chuir an Ainm "agTosaCeol" ar an Blogg !
