Recently

Recently I watched a Docuementary that I Really Enjoyed !!!!

- Now I am a big fan of the film 'Once' !!!!
and there is Now a Docuementary out
It is titled:- "Swell Season:One Step Away"
and Anybody Who has Seen and Enjoyed the film 'Once' ????
- Will Really Enjoy and Appreciate this Docuementary !!!!

- It is Very Good and Well Worth Viewing !!!!

Future Postings - Maybe ????

Light and Frivolous Ideally !!!!

- Often when I am away from a computer I Reflect upon Items
that I would like to include and chat about in Future Postings

- Occasionaly I do come upon Items of Information that might
be of Benefit to Other People: for example recently I heard
about 'Emotional Tapping Theraphy' - "Wow"!- was my Reaction
followed by an Urge to Share and to Tell Other People about It !!!!

- Also from Time to Time I Do Hear Really Good Music
that I Feel Enthusiastic and Even Excited about and again
I Feel an Urge to Share with and Tell the World about It !!!!

May the Saints and Angels watch over You !!!!

May the Saints and Angels watch over You
is the title of a new song from a new album
called 'Saints and Scoundrels'by Mike Scott
[of the Waterboys]and Sharon Shannon.
- It is being played a lot on the radio
and it sounds like a easily identifiable
typical classical 'Waterboys' song !!!!

- I am a Big Fan of the Waterboys and awhile ago
on a visit to Galway - I actually met Mike Scott
- He is Very Nice and I said "Thank You for the Music" !!!!
- I Highly Recomend "Fisherman's Blues" or even
"The Best of the Waterboys" to Anybody and Everybody !!!!

- while I am chatting away
I feel I really should mention
"Harps and Angels" by Randy Newman

- It is Really Good !!!!
- It Really is Worth a Listen !!!!

Ábhair Eagsúlachtá = Various Topics

- Apparently in December[upcoming] there will be the
Rarity of Two Full Moons occuring in the same month:
- on the 2nd of December and the 31st New Years Eve
which will Open 2010 and the begining of a New Decade !!!!

- It has been awhile since I last posted anything to this blog
the explanation is that my Access to the Internet is Not as it
used to be -I live out in a remote rural area most of the time !!!!
So usually any Access that comes my way is when I visit Galway !!!!

- The Good News is that there are Plenty of New Melodies and Airs !!!!

- The Challenge will be to Connect with
Share with and Collaborate with Other People
and to Get the Music Out into the Wider World !!!!

- as for How am I ????

I am Feeling Really Good !!!!
I am Feeling Really Positive !!!!
I am Feeling Really Optimistic !!!!

and It is All Thanks
to Our Wonderfull Loving God !!!!
Who Created All of Us and Who Loves Us All !!!!

Thank You Dear God for All that is Good in Life !!!! - Thank You !!!!

Lilting !!!!

In Ireland as well as many Types and Styles of Music
we have a specific Musical Type/Tradition called 'Lilting'!!!!

Basically It is what People Do
when They have the Music
and Yet have No Musical Instruement!

I Suppose One could Compare It
to playing the 'Air-Guitar'

In my Imagination I can See the Music
that 'Comes' to me being Played on either
Various Instruements or by Ensembles of Muscitions
and when I Sing the New Music - Often I am 'Lilting' !!!!

Usefull Information Maybe ????

This is information that might be helpful and useful
for Anybody who might be suffering from Back Problems ????

1] - Mindyourownback by Steve Timm

2] - Method Putkisto

If You 'Google' either of the Above?
There is Information about these Two Items!

- Also Magnet Theraphy does Offer Natural Pain Releif !!!!

These Items of Information are for Anybody
who may be Suffering from Back Problems ????

Buíochás leis na Dhá Thuairim !!!!

Thank You to the Two People
Who posted Comments !!!!

Contact Details a.k.a. Getting in Touch !!!!

A few words more re:- the previous posting/entry
where i wrote/spoke of my[for the next-while!]
lack/abscence of frequent Access to the Internet!

If I am able too? - I Will Check my E-Mail Once a Month

- If Perchance that I am really Lucky ????
- It might be Sometimes Once every 2 Weeks ..Maybe ????

If Anyone is Ever Considering Getting in Touch ????

It Might Be Wiser and Quicker to Use the Postal system
- Usually It takes 5-7 Days for a Letter to arrive in Ireland from Abroad !!!!

Ar an Am Seo ....

Ar an Am Seo = [is Gaeilge/Irish] for'At this Time'

and there really isn't very much to say at the moment
other than that it is looking very likely that my
Access to the Internet will be minimal for the next while !!

How minimal ???? - Maybe Once a Month for 40 minuits ????

Why do i mention all this ????

Well If Perchance
Anybody endeavors to Contact me by E-Mail ????

- also If Anybody is Wondering:-
'Why is there for Now an Abscence of Activity on this blog'????

Got to Play the Grand Piano Today !!!!

What occured Today was So Unexpectected !!!!

As I travelled into Galway this morning I encountered and spoke
with a fellow student/particepant on the Music Course and She
told me that People were trying to Contact me[i do not have a
mobile/cell-phone!]about Recording a Charity C.D.at the Studio
in Spiddal and She gave me a Lift out there an hour later !

It was Good to meet everybody again
and It was Fun Recording the C.D. !!!!

During a rest period I got
Access to the Grand Piano !!!!

and I got to Play a New Air and Melody
that Sounds Beautifull and Wonderfull
when Played on the Grand Piano !!!!

Éacht Mhór !!!!

Éacht Mhór is the Gaeilge/Irish
for a 'great achievement' and
I am refering to the Good News
that I Passed All my Exams !!!!

The Music Course was an Adventure from the Word 'Go'

Thank God It has All worked out Well !!!!
and God Bless All the Many Good People who made It Possible !!!!

- Also on a different matter:- 'am I some type of an "eejit" ????

An 'eejit' is a commonly used slang expression that we have here in Ireland for anybody who could be considered to be some kind/type of an Idiot !

- and why? One may well enquire
- do i ask such a "Profound" searching Question ?

Out of basic Good Nature
I offered/volunteered
to work on the Bog next week
and I wonder 'am i able for it'?

Last week again out of Good Nature I volunteered
to help out unload 400-500 Bales of Hay from a trailor
and I Enjoyed the Work and the Smell of the Hay
- yet the Bales of Hay were as Heavey as large back-packs
and the work involved trowing the Bales up 4 - 10 feet or so
- anyway I was Stiff and Sore for Days afterwards!

So when I volunteered to work on the Bog next week
I wonder what I am letting myself in for ????
- all I have been told is that there is a Lot of Turf/Peat
to be stacked and It might take 2 Days to Do it All !

At this Time of Year the Bog can be Very Pleasant !!!!
It can be Very Peacefull out on the Bog and the Weather is Warm !!!!

Anything else happen recently ????

There were Cattle roaming loose this Sunday
along a busy roadway out where I live in Conamara
and Nobody was doing anything about It
- so I descided I better bring them to wherever they belong?
There was 11 of them[6 Cows and 5 Calfs] a small Herd !
I must have looked a right Comical sight as I endeavored
to direct the Animals to their destination of Local Abode.
Again and Again People stoped to give Advise
and variuos Opinions as to Who owned the Cattle
Eventually a Local Farmer figered He recognised One of the Cows!
So after 3-4 kms walking with the 'Herd' and with his guidance
We sucessfully released the Cattle out into a safe peacefull Location!

A Mixture of Events and Experiances ....

Scince i last posted an entry to this blog there has occured a variety of 'ups' and 'downs' and 'ins' and 'outs'and 'whatever else':- 'ete''ete''ete''ete'-Lots and Lots of Little things and Big things and things of No real consequence at all!- at all!- at all! - at all!
At this stage well one might wonder:-
'Is It Nonsence?'- that i am writing ??
-'Or Is It Something Else' ????

The Truth Is It Is
The Immediate Mood
That I Am In As I Am
In The Immediate Here And Now

- in my previous entry[wednesday 17th] to this blog - i wrote about punctures and hangovers!- well it took all day wednesday for the hangover to clear up -thursday morning the 18th:-i was in great form and i really enjoyed working repairing the punctures in the back wheel of the bycycle[so much so that later on in the day i was joking about:'Zen and the Art of mending punctures']- and Afterwards it was Wonderfull the Freedom and Restored Mobility that i was able to Achieve as i Travelled Enormous Distances all over Galway in a short period of Time !!!!- Yes the Bycycle is a Wonderfull Invention !!!!

That was Yesterday
and This is Today
and Guess What ????

- I Got Another Puncture
So no wonder i feel deflated today
as i feebley endeavor to dutifuly blog!

Maybe there is Truth in the theory of Bio-Rhythms ????
Certainly what i experianced over the past few days
could well be described as Undulating Waves of periods
of Highly Energetic 'Out and About' Activity followed
by periods of a Complete Absence of Energy periods of
a Complete Inability to Focus or Function Normally !
[- now i acknowledge that what i just wrote about the
'Down-Side' comes across as rather extreme!- It is very
difficult to talk about because I am Tired as I Write !]

As for the 'Up-Side' of the past few days ????
Well Lots of Good Things Happened:- Like
Again and Again I Met Really Nice People !!!!
and That Really Cheers Me Up !!!!

Thank God for All the Good People
that I Frequently Encounter in Life !!!!

and Thank God for the Gift of Music !!!!

and Thank God for All that is Good in Life !!!!

Examples of the Unexpected ....

often frequently life trows up surprises and the unexpected
-yesterday for example i dutifully turned up at my usual time
of arrival for the 'bloomsday' celebrations expecting a large
gathering of people at the 'nora baracle' house - to instead
discover that the celebrations were over !

afterwards i was so disappointed and felt so foolish
i rather stupidly drank too many beers last night
- yet to my surprise when i awoke this morning i felt great
and even more to my surprise after my customary morning
pot of tea[which usually rehydrates and rejuvenates me!]
-it instead to my unexpected surprise appears to have induced a
'wopping' monuemental debiletating 'under the weather' hangover
as i type sudden unexpected noises irritate me i also have moments
of unexpected pain and i feel sort of 'ughh!'and 'woozey-wobbely'

yeah this hangover sure took me by surprise as did events yesterday
also today for as well as the hangover that i am presently enduring
i also got a puncture this morning in the rear tyre of my bycycle
it is really unusual maybe even wierd the excessive amount of
punctures that have afflicted my normaly reliable'trusty steed'
[a.k.a. my scruffy battered bycycle -that time-efficiancy machine
upon which it is my custom to free as a joyfull bird on the wing
'whizz' about the streets[and sometimes even speedely mounting
the sidewalks and footpaths noblely endeavoring to evade the
heavey buildup of auto-traffic of this delightfull metropolis
of our's:'the city of the tribes'- usually refered too as galway!

Today is "Bloomsday" !!!!

On this date 16th June 1904
James Joyce either first met Nora Barnacle his Partner for Life
[or maybe it was his first sucessful date/going-out with Her?]
Well whatever the auspiscious occasion it was ????
He commemorated and celebrated this momentious event everafter
in his world famous internationally acclaimed novel 'Ulysses'!!!

Nora Barnacle was from Galway[She met James Joyce in Dublin]
Every 16th of June People celebrate "Bloomsday"
[-the date that the action in'Ulysses'occurrs]
In Galway People gather at the 'Nora Barnacle'house
for Readings and general all round Litery 'craic'[fun]!!!
-I hope to attend there today and maybe do a
public reading from 'Ulysses'?[-i have done so before!]
of course some say 'It is All'Poseurs'and Litery Pretentiousness'
In my Opinion:It is a Litery Celebration and a 'Bit of harmless Fun'!!!!

For well over a week[or more?]
I have been Absent
from this Blog and the Internet !!
The Music Course is Over
and consequently So Too is my regular
access to computers and the Internet !!

For the past week or more I have been
living very quietly out in Conamara !!!!

For the first few days it was a bit of
a cultural shock[and a 'come down'after all
the hectic activity of the previous weeks
especially the Volvo Ocean Race in Galway where
We played Our Final and Most Sucessfull Concert !!!!

Afterwards at an Election Count Center
I Foolishly spoke to an Irish Politition
[a Minister in the Irish Goverment]
Afterwards I got Very Depressed Brooding
about the Issue that I spoke about
and which I am Concerned about !!
It was very much on my mind for Days
after I returned to Conamara-and the
More I Brooded:-The More Depressed I Became !!

What Saved Me? - What Rescued Me was Music !!!!
- I took out my Musical Instruements and I started Playing Music !!!!
and the more I Played Music the Better I Felt !!!!
and the Better the Music Became !!!!
and All my Worries and Concerns Faded Away !!!!
and Guess What ???? - I Became Happier and Happier !!!!

In Fact the past few days
have been Very Creative !!!!
in that I am Composing Music Again !!!!
and It is Good Music Too !!!!

and the Weather is Good Too !!!!

Thank God for All that is Good !!!!

Ways of Communicating and Expressing ????

There is a theory that Language is a branch of Music

Words[when used effectively] aim for Accuracy

Many years ago when I lived in another country
a Person who was a Good Friend said:-
"It is Not the Words we Use that are important
- It is the *Way that we Say It* that is Important !!!!

In my Travels I often noticed
that the way people spoke
was often similar to Singing
as if each Language was a Song !!!!

As if Each Language is a Song and/or a Medium
Shared Exchanged Transmitted and Understood
within a Culture from Generation to Generation
Languages[and Music]change and evolve over Time.

Looking at and Listening to Irish Traditional Music
there is Evidance that the Music is Reflective of the
Times and the Society[Both being the Medium]in which it is Played
The Audiance/Listeners and Music-Makers/Muscitions engaged in and
Conspiring in a mutual shared symbiotic Activity/Understanding !!!!

It was a Good Concert !!!!

Yesterday We played a Very Good Concert !!!!

In a previous entry to this blog
I mentioned that there are Plenty of Music Events
being held in Galway to celebrate the Volvo Ocean Race
and yesterday All of Us from the Music Course
Played a Very Sucessfull Open Air Concert in Galway !!!!

The Weather is Unusually Very Very
Warm Gorgeous Splendid and Sunny
and of course the Lovely Weather
is putting Everybody in Good Form !!!!

I am up on Video !!!!

If You Google: Volvo Ocean Race
and than click on 'Video Gallery'
and than click on 'Wonderful Galway'
-I am the 4th-5th Person interviewed
on the main street in the center of Galway.
[-I appear just after the appearance of the
two babies in the baby carriage]
It is a very brief video filmed 1-2 weeks ago.

Céard atá faoi Siúl-['what is going on']

Sounds dramatic doesn´t it?-'what is going on'
In actuallity just another example of how I often
communicate with inadvertant Inarticulate Words and
Expressions that imply[-is that spelt correctly?]more
than the Actuall Reality I wish to describe[and narrate]
-just wondering is it appropiate to use the word 'Narrate'
in relation to writing about 'Reality'????
-also wondering did I spell the word:'Narrate'correctly ????

The Big Event in Galway City at the moment
[and the next two weeks!]
is 'the Volvo Ocean Race'
It is a 37'000km around the World Sailing Boat Race
and the 7 state of the art racing yachts sailed into Galway
a few days ago after crossing the Atlantic from Boston MA.
The City of Galway is in full Celebratery Mode
with Plenty of Concerts and Musical Events !!!!

Is Nuacht Maith é !!!! [-It is Good News !!!!]

- Just read your entry/posting for thursday 21st May'09
and What a Turn-Around for the Better !!!!-I am refering
to your Sucessfull Interview[all arranged within 2 hours]

-It is Good News !!!! - and I am Happy for You !!!!
- as for the Remainder of your Journey ????

- I Trust/Hope and Pray that All will Go Well for You !!!!

- May You Travel Sucessfully !!!!
- May You Travel Safely !!!!
- May You Travel Wisely !!!!

- and May You Be Happy !!!!

- Love You !!!!

Cupla Focal - A Few Words

Yesterday en routhe to writing a few words on this Blog
I got a puncture in the back tyre of my bycycle;and than
just before I wrote anything:-I paid a quick visit to the
blog of a dear friend of mine who is presently travelling.
I was shocked and saddened to read of what she is recently
experiancing in realation to her health.-So when I made an
effort to say a few words I was in a stunned condition of
deflation and operating in a form of barely functioning
'automatic-pilot' barely able to express anything coherant!
-I was also on a public access computer[as I also am today!]
There is plenty of distractions,noise,activity all about as
I attempt to type;- it is extremely difficult to concentrate!

I spent this morning repairing the puncture in the bycyle tyre.
It took me a long while to mend the puncture because my thoughts
were focused on the problems my friend is experiancing in Morocco.
Frequently I contemplated what I could say if I attemped to get in
touch with Her.- Yet the more I pondered doing so the more Futile
it felt;also all things considered It also felt like Foolishness!!
She has a wide network of good friends in Essaouria[also Elsewhere]
also She has other channels of communication with the outside world
[other than her Blog!]- I have attemped to communicate with Her !!!!
yet there is No Responce from Her!!- Of course I am Concerned and
I Do Care about her Wellbeing and I Do Care about her Happieness !!!!

Do I Care ???? Yes I Do Care !!!!

Do I Care about You ????

Yes I Do Care about You !!!!

- what am I on about ????
I am refering to the latest posting on
your blog which appeared Today 19th May

- It is upsetting,depressing and distressing
to read about your suffering and I just feel so
powerless and utterly unable to help you in anyway

What Use are any Words
that I could Say to You ????

Other than to Tell You
That I Do Care about You !!!!

and I Promise that
I Will Say Prayers
that All will Go Well for You !!!!
May God Bless You in Every Good Way !!!!

Today is my Birthday !!!!

Today is my Birthday !!!!
-I am Now 52 Years on the Go !!!!

Earliar on I was contemplating All
that I could write about in this Blog
to Celebrate and Commemorate this Day

- yet after Reflection about All that
I feel inclined to talk about: - It all
feels so inappropiate and irrelevant !!

The One and Only Exception is Giving Thanks !!!!

-To Give Thanks for All that is Good in Life !!!!

- To Give Thanks to God !!!!

-To Give Thanks to God
for All the Good that God
has Given Over the Many Years !!!!

- Thank You God !!!!

We Played a Concert on Inisheer !!!!

On wednesday 13th we all assembled in Spiddal at the recording
studio to rehearse;and on thursday 14th asembled at Rosseveal and
travelled out by ferry to Inisheer[the smallest of the Aran Islands
{which are located at the mouth of Galway Bay}-After playing the
Concert we stayed overnight on Inisheer and some choose to return
on the 8am ferry the next morning on friday 15th-Others[including
'moi']choose to remain and stay until the 4.30pm ferry.

-I walked all over the Island and I even went for a Swim !!!!

The return voyage to Rosseveal was wild and exhilerating because
the wind was strong and the waves were 'choppy' and rolling
I returned to Ros Muc for a quite weekend and relaxed by either
going for quite walks or reading or playing and practising Music

Today it was lovely and sunny as I traveled to Galway.
-Yet within an hour of my arrival it has started Raining
Actually the Rain is rather Beautifull at this Time of Year !!!!

Ag dul amach go dtí na h-Óileann Aran Amarach !!!!

Inniú Táimuid ag Cleachtadh le Ceoilchoirm
a Bheith muid ag Casadh Amarach ín Aran !!!!

Ar an Am Seo - At this Moment

Today is a Lovely Sunny Day in Galway
and later on I will Travel out to Conamara

Earliar on Today I had a Realisation of the
Importance of Contact/Involvement with Nature
in Relation to a Positive Transformation for
the Better in How I Feel and How I View Life

Anyway Goodwill to Everybody and God Bless You All

A New Photo [ - yet be aware that No one Photo tells the whole Truth] !!!!

This Photo was taken 3 weeks ago and published in the brochure
which introduced and described Us the particepating Muscitions
in the recent Concerts that We have Played !!!!
-The Photo was taken on the outskirts of the village of Spiddal
at the sea-shore of Galway Bay during a very windy day - and
To Be Honest:- I do enjoy a good windy day by the sea;-It can
be very Invigerating and Energising and
-It Sure blows away the metaphorical 'Cobwebs' !!!!

I really appreciate the constantly changing Weather
that We experiance living here in Ireland !!!!

-and We do [believe it or not?]occasionaly have Bright Sunny Days !!!!

So as the Title of this entry/posting declares:
- 'No one Photo tells the Whole Truth' !!!!

The Music Course is Finishing Very Soon

We had Two Concerts this Week
Wednsday 22nd and Yesterday Friday 24th
and Other than to turn up for Final Exams
on Tuesday 5th May - The Music Course is Over!

As for Future Regular Access to the Internet ????
There is a Question Mark over my Future Access ????
[- because I Live Way Out in Conamara
and I Do Not have a Personal Computer!]

The Music Course I have been Attending
provided me with Frequent Regular Internet Access !!!!

It could be 5th May before
I next get the Oppurtunity
to Visit the Internet because
I am Probebly Returning
to Conamara later on Today !!!!

'Let the Sun Shine on Your Face ....' !!!!

For a good while now there is Song out on the radio
that is very catchy[as in it catchs the attention]
'Let the Sun shine on Your Face ....'by Laura Izibor
and certainly It really puts me in Good Form !!!!

We are extremely busy at present preparing for
Two Concerts next week ;consequently I will Not
have too much Time to write up this Blog

Today I came across a Request for Feedback from a Friend
[in relation to the writing in her travel blog]
and my Intention is to send Her a Positive Response
- whenever I can get the Free Time to Do So !!!!

Yesterday evening it was a pleasure to listen
to a radio programme 'Reels to Ragas'
on Lyric fm - It is Music from All over the World !!!!

A Really 'catchy'Song that I heard on 'Reels to Ragas'
is a recent English Folk Song:"Blackbird"[from a
compilation:"The Bairns" by Rachel Unthank and 'The Winterset']

If you 'google':- Blackbird by the Winterset?
- One can listen too and watch it on YouTube !

- and It sounds Even Better If One just
Listens to It on 'The Hype Machine':-
http://hypem.com/track/785035/Rachel+Unthank+And+The+Winterset+-+Blackbird

- It is Worth a Listen !!!! - It is Really Very Good !!!!

The Piano that I Enjoy Playing !!!!

This is the Grand Piano
that I have mentioned in
previous postings.

Anytime I Play upon It

It Gives me a Wonderfull
Wellcome Feeling of Peace !!!!

Time to Wake Up !!!!

It is 'Early-Days' so to speak!
-however I really feel like:Bewildered!
- at prescent We are preparing for a Concert
and at times I feel like I am not fully aware
of what is expected in relation to my particepation
The production We are preparing for
will be Our most Ambitious production.

Often it is Comical how Life works/operates:
-as i was typing out the opening paragraph
a person was walking[a few inchs behind me]
up and down speaking loudly into a mobile phone
[in the states they call them 'cell-phones!]
and already i was feeling rather tense what
with the hectic/intensive work-load expected
of Us - It appeared Futile to continue with
attempting to write up this entry to the blog
-so for some peace and quite i withdrew and
retired downstairs to practice on the Piano
- No sooner was i peacefully settled in ...
Guess who walked in? The person who had been
disturbing the Peace with the mobile-phone !!
The self same individual looked like they
required help to remove lighting equipment
- So i rather good naturely volunteered to help
[-Life is constantly Ongoing:as i was typing
this out Everybody else was singing 'N17' by
'The Sawdocters'[who are a Co.Galway Music group
Famous in Ireland and else where]-anyway i joined
in the Singing!- actually 'N17'is on YouTube
It is Authentic Galway !!!! and Popular in Ireland !!!!
[-the song 'N17' came out in the early '90's on a
compilation:"If this is Rock and Roll?-I want my old job back!"]
-when i was travelling hitch-hiking and working about Europe in
the summer of 1991 i carried a cassete-tape of this compilation.
-my two favourite tracks/songs from this compilation are
"Oh what a Day" and "Sing a Powerful Song"[-a song of Hope!]

"Sing a Powerful Song" is Really Good !!!!
- It is Up on 'YouTube - It is Worth a Listen !!!!
- It is Really Good !!!! - I Highly Reccomend It !!!!

It is Lovely at this Time !!!!
The Trees look Etheral with the Emerging
Buds,Blossems and Leaves on the Trees !!!!
Hawthorn,Whitethorn and Cherry Blossem !!!!

This is a Good Time of the Year !!!!


I am in Good Form !!!!
- Thank God !!!!

- There is a Good Happy Atmosphere !!!!

- Thank God for All that is Good !!!!

Éist !!!!

Cupla nóimead o shinn bhímuid ag canadh Ceol le cheile
agus bhí mé ag bhain go leor sult as ag canadh an amhran

Go leor Éagsúlachta chuile Lá !!!!

Bíonn go leor Éagsúlachta ann chuile Lá !!!!

agus is Aimsir Bhreá Inniú !!!!
[and it is Lovely Weather Today !!!!]
agus bhí an Aimsir Taibhseach Grianmhar Geal ar Lá le Phadraig !!!!
[and St Patrick's Day had Gorgeous Sunny Bright Weather Too !!!!]

Certainly the "Sap" is Rising Creatively !!!!
- I have spent the past few days Composing Developing
Playing and Practising New Music that has "Come out of the Air" !!!!

Lá Gealltá Inniú !!!!

Today is bright and sunny which is a blessed relief
when one considers the 'right royal'drenching of rain
that i experianced yesterday!- yeah good old Ireland
It sure shows one what real rain is all about!
Other countries theoretically experiance 4 seosons in a year
Here in Ireland We often joke about 4 seosons everyday
In my experiance it would be even more fitting to declare that
10-20 different varieties of Weather each day is closer to the Truth!

Anyway Thank God it is a Lovely Day Today !!!!
and there are Yellow Daffidols everywhere !!!!
They are a Wonderful Uplifting Sight !!!!
Waving about in the Bright Light !!!!

Táimuid ag freastal ag An Ceathrú Ruá Inniú !!!!

Go mBeannadh Dé ar einne atá ag leamh é seo !!!!

An Seachtain seo caite

Last week i saw my first cherry-blossom of the year
also similar white blossoms that might be hawthorn?
In Ireland the hawthorn is regarded as a tree that
is to be respected because it is a fairy tree - Often
out in rural country areas People would be afraid to harm
a hawthorn tree because of the danger of offending the fairies
It is said that though we usually cannot see them
They[the fairys] can see Us - So 'Tis Wise to Respect the Fairies

Last week i made 7 attempts to upload that video clip and the same
message keeps flashing up basically saying that the 'html is open or
not closed or whatever' ? - It is driving me 'bananas'
At this stage i should give-up - It is 'Nuts' to keep trying!

We had the concert on thursday night and It went very well!
There is one especially beautiful melody that we played that
I would love to share with other People:- It is called:-
'The Marguerita'[by eoin duignan the uileann piper ]-our version
was played on an assortment of instruements:Long Low Whistle
Accordian Guitar Violin - It is a very moving gentle beautiful
Melody !!!! and It is really worth Hearing - Truely !!!!

http://www.stumbleaudio.com/#eoinduignan3/4

is a web adress where one can hear a sample of this beautiful Air
'The Marguerita' is from a compilation called 'Ancient Rite'



As I walked out at twile-light this eveningI was blown-away
by the Singing of a Bird in a Tree! - Truely It is Amazing
the Power the Range and the Music such Tiny Creatures Display
We Humans at times imagine We are wonderfull at Music - Yet
those Tiny Creatures Sure put us in our place when it comes
to Music - Making !!!! - Wow!- The Little Birds are Amazing !!!!


St Paddy's Day is coming up on the 17th[next tuesday]
- So We are all looking forward to celebrating It !!!!

Sneachta ar an Burren[ = Snow on the Burren]

There is a coating of Snow on the Burren this morning
-it is a rare sight to see and looks attractive
across the Bay in the bright sunlight

Yesterday i tried to upload onto this blog a Video
that was made yesterday of me playing some Music.
It was taking ages to upload it and I really did
not know what I was doing - So I left it for now
There are 6 little amateur videos of me playing
various musical instruements:The Grand Piano,and
the new yamaha keyboards and the tin-whistle on the
video taken yesterday - It is a kind of funny video
because I move about and do a silly little dance as
I play a lively 'Air'["The young french woman dancing"]

- I will endeavor to upload it once I figer out how to do so?

It actually took me two hours to figer out how to upload the photo
and I am supposed to be doing other activities other than upgrading
this blog for example I have to leave this computer and go down
stairs to the recording studio and rehearse for upcoming concert
...Bye for Now !!!!

About Time - A Photo !!!!

This Photo was taken yesterday tuesday 24/2/2009 in Spiddal ,Conamara,Co.Galway,Ireland.

If you click on the photo ?
-it enlarges and it is possible to make out more detail:
-for example it is possible to make out the hills of Clare
[a.k.a. the Burren]across the water of Galway Bay
also there is an Irish Flag and the white buildings are
the Spiddal Craft Center.In my hand are 3 Whistles.
The Two colured green are the Two I play most Often - a 'C' and a 'D'
The photo was taken outside off and in front of the recording studio
where i am attending the course in Music.

As for 'moi' ????

Yeah I acknowlege that it is not the most flattering of photographs !

- Yet when you consider that i am over half a centuary'on the go'
- It is an Achievement getting this Far !!!!

- and even though I will be 52 in May this year !!!!
- on the inside I feel like I am in my early 20's

'Tis said that the camera tells the Truth !!!!
yet all the camera portray's is an exterior viewpoint
and because Human Beings are so complex and constantly changing
No one photo tells it all !! - a photo is Only a Moment in Time


As for Today ????
- a few moments i was Outside and the Weather
is Bright and Sunny and there is a Lovely Golden Light !!!!

- as for the 'Comical-Advice' that
I mentioned in the previous posting ?
-apparently it is working and is Sucessful
because scince I have started silently saying:
'Peace be with You - Peace be with You' !!!!

- It has Become Very Pleasant and Peacefull !!!!
- and a Lot of Warm Positive Friendly Feeling has been Released !!!!

Comical Advice maybe? hope it works !!!!

Over the weekend as i endeavored to recover from the lunacy and stress of last week
- i came across a book with some potentially usefull advice for when one is troubled by vexacious and aggravating persons? - The advice is to silently say over and over again : "Peace Be with You" - Theoreticaly it is supposed to be effective !!!!

- Oh I dearly hope that it works !!!!

Anything else ????
Yeah - Met a friendly donkey out where i live in Conamara
Really Cheered me up !!!! - Meeting the friendly donkey
and going for walks and singing as i walked put me in Good Form !!!!

It sure helps the ability to laugh at it all !!!!

In Total Contrast - !!

Today was Crazy - Serious 'Nuts'-in terms of Stress!!
It is completely 'Bonkers' at the moment on the Music Course
Theoreticaly we are supposed to be Rehearsing for a Concert
Yet It Appears to be an excuse for all sorts of Lunacy !!

It is Extremely Stressfull the Discordant Cacophoney of Noise
The Maddness and Mayhem is Alienating


- Oh I Yearn for Blessed Peace and Quiet !!!!

and If I could Do as I Wish on this Music Course ????

- I Would Focus on Developing the Music that I have !!!!

- I Would also have regular Access to the Piano or Keyboards !!!!

- I require a Peacefull Enviroment to Function !!!!


- By Nature I am a Quiet Peacefull Person !!!!

Feeling Peacefull !!!!

A short while ago I was gently playing
the new portable digital grand piano
It is a very peacefull feeling trying
out various Airs or Tunes on the keyboards

Earliar I walked to the sea-shore
and scrambled about the slippery rocks
and slippery slopes of a large almost
mountain-top style rock formation that
usually is a small island in the sea when
the tide is in - It really woke me up as
I scrambled about - I really had to be alert!

The Weather over the past few days is constantly changing
We have had Snow,Frost,Bright Sunny days,Occasional Rain
and this morning heavey Fog/Mist along the shore of Galway Bay
In Gaeilge the Irish Language 'Ceo' is the Word We use for Mist/Fog
Ceo better describes what I experianced travelling out this morning!

It is Often that I feel Positive and Happy at the begining of a New Day
and this morning I Sang as I walked in the envigorating Fresh Air !!!!

- and even earliar on as I walked out this morning
I was pleased to see the new flowers emerging
from out of the Earth - It is Magical Wonderful and Natural !!!!

Ceol as an Alban// Music from Scotland

Today We had a lecture about Music from Scotland
It was specificaly about Music from the Scotish 'Gallic'
speaking area of the Hebrides and Western Isles

We had two lecturers:- a young Scotish Singer
who spoke[and Sang] to Us in Scots 'Gallic'
- also a young Irish Woman who as well as
being a very accomplished Séan-Nós Singer
is also an excellant Muscition on the Harp !!!!


Ireland and Scotland have the same Gaelic Language
Yet Between the Two there are many differences in
the Pronunciation and Spelling of the Language
Today's lecture was given in both Irish and Scotish Gaelic

There is a Quality to the Music of Scotland !!!!
The Rythyms and Melodies of the Music
in Scotish Gaelic are Unique and Worth a Listen !!!!

Exclusively for the Purpose of Communication

It would be good to have your postal adress
exclusively for the purpose of communication
of course that would require you to
trust me and to accept my good faith

As I attempt to type this out there is alot of noise about
which makes it very difficult to concentrate and focus
on what I am trying to communicate to you ..there are
distractions all about .. It is much easiar for me to
communicate on paper in an enviroment of peace and quite

A Few Words to Clarify:

The contents of this posting
are Only a Reflection of a Moment in Time
[-just like a photo is just a moment in time]
On this posting I was 'letting off steam'
Equivalent to the workings of a 'Safety Valve'

In Truth In Reality
I am actually Easy-going and Realistic
I Do Believe in 'Letting Go' !!!!
and as for how the Future will go ????

Truely I have Not Got a Clue !!!!

- when I say my Prayers - the Prayer I ask for
is:"Let Only what is Good Occur" !!!!
in other words I leave it up to the
Wisdom Goodness and Love of Almighty God !!!!




So No Worries about my Prayers !!!!
and No Worries about the Future !!!!

Because God is Good !!!!
Because God is Wise !!!!
Because God is Caring !!!!
and Because God is Loving !!!!




At some time or other i intend to Delete
this posting as well as 90% of the Postings
and Content of this Blogg

This Post Will Be Deleted !!!!

Ráiteas Cúspóir !!!!

To Be Honest:
- I have'nt a clue what I intend to Talk about ????
[or should that more correctly/accurately be described
as 'Waffle' about]in this posting ???? - Anyway/also
I really am exceptionaly busy at Prescent !!!!
-I just do not know do I have the Time to do what is required
to comprehensively discuss and cover All that I could Talk Off ????


At Prescent I have a Lot to do in realtion to the Music course
It is a Very Interesting course and We have a Lot of Work to do
[-i have essys to write,music to compose,rehearsals to attend ete ete]
-It is a very demanding workload and I have to make Choices with
how I utilise my Time !!!! Writing this Blog could be construed
as a 'Frivoulous' endeavour ???? for example Today it would be far more
Prefarable if I utilised my prescious Time
Playing and Practising on the Grand Piano !!!!


In this posting my Intention and Wish is to Talk about Life
as I have experianced It over the years - also to
Write about what I Regard as Important and Worthwhile !!!!

Anyway a Visit to the 'Interests' section in my Profile
will give a Good Portrayal of what I Value as Worthwhile !!!!

[-i will be returning too and filling in this
posting when the oppurtunity presents itself ]

An Ceol (= The Music)

There are some Utterly Gorgeous
Airs and Melodies that have 'Come'
to me recently and if I can ????
- I will get them up on the Internet !!!!


- I have them recorded on the dictaphones
[-i have two dictaphones:-
one is a micro cassette one, the other is a normal
audio cassette one - i am on the look-out for an
Mp3 digital dictaphone which will faciletate
uploading music samples onto a computer - old-style
audio tapes are difficult to come bye and than there
is the hassle of transfering from analogue to digital!]


On the Music Course We have are just starting to Learn how
to use MIDI technology to Play and Compose Music on Computer
Everyone of Us has a Piano style keyboard attached to the Computer
and It is possible to play 'virtual'instruements[for example last week
I was playing a 'virtual Choir'a'virtual Sitar'a 'virtual Saxaphone'
and of course a 'virtual Piano']- afterwards though comparing the
virtual Piano and the actual real life Grand Piano
- I Prefare the Real Piano !!!!

One advantage with the MIDI technology
[in our crowded computer room!]is that:- once i put on the
earphones:- i can screen out the surrounding noisey distractions
- also nobody can hear what i am up too - which Frees me from
inhibiting self-consciousness[- much and all as i love the
grand piano !!!! - my standard of piano playing is so simple
and basic[-i am self taught]that i get embarrassed,self conscious
and inhibited when others are in ear-shot.]

As for my usual musical instruements ????
- I have 10 various Tin-Whistles each with their
own unique quality - also I have a pair of
Cuban rhythmn sticks [- a birthday prescent from
an Irish Woman Friend who had traveled to Cuba ]
- Do I know how to play the rhythmn sticks ????
- No!! - yet I do have Fun Trying !!!! - It is Comical !!!!

As for the Tin Whistles ????
- the oldest are two Irish made 'Feadogs'
they [a "D" and a "C"]are the two I Play most often !!!!
-they have a Lovely Soft Sound !!!! - because of their Age !!!!

Recently I gave myself a present of an English made Classic:
a Clarke's old style 'Penny-Whistle'[it is the Origional of
All Tin-Whistles]and It Too has a Lovely Soft Gentle Sound !!!!
and It also Very Beautifull to Look At !!!!
- I Only take It Out for Special Occasions
- It has a Unique Visual and Aural Quality !!!!

Items/Topics/Anything

There is a Cacophony of Sound
inchs away from me as I attempt to write up this blogg
There is some-one playing sharp scales on a Violin in an
endeavour to teach Music to other less knowledgable classmates
It is driving me 'round the twist'- It is So Discordant !!
- for the Immediate Now it is Difficult to concentrate

Phew!- at last Peace Blessed Peace

"CouchSurfing":-it is an international community of People willing
and able to provide a place to stay free of charge
for People who travel. There are 780,000 registered
worldwide in 180 countries - It could be helpfull
in faciletating your funds to last longer travelling
If you 'google'the word:- CouchSurfing there is plenty
of information even a wikipedia on the phenomena.


The Weather: As always RAINING - well that is Not Actually True !!
It also Snowing Today as well as Raining and about a Week Ago
We had Lovely Sunny Bright Frosty Weather !!!!
It is Typical Ireland Change Always Change Never a Dull Moment !!!!

'Life' in Ireland

The cheapest Pint of Guinness is 4 Euros
People are deserting the pubs because It is
Too Expensive to Go Out these days and many Pubs
are closing down.- The 'Craic'is No longer what it was Years Ago
- Ireland has changed a Lot - Yet Ireland is Constantly Changing
- So There is Always Hope that Good Times Will Come Again !!!!


The Noise Level is rising about me as I type
The Other People have returned from their tea/coffee

It is Imposible to concentrate with the Cacophony of Noise
all about me [and also People asking me questions as I type!]
- I Will Return to this Posting when It gets Quieter
[either later on Today or Tommorrow or the Day after ...?]
My access to the Internet is sporadic and unpredictable ..So
If I can I will Add to this Blogg ..If Not ????
Well I Hope whoever may read this will understand !!!!

"Lanann on Sail air Aye" !!!!

The title of this posting
is the phonetic spelling of
a phrase in Gaelic or Gaeilge
which translates as: "Life goes on" !!!!

Let there be Peace !!!!

The origional intention of this posting
was to talk about a country that I have
deep feelings for because I lived there
many years ago.- Sadly that country is
doing terrible deeds to innocent People

The country I talk off arouse's intense emotion worldwide
It is probebly the most controversial place on the planet
Because feelings are so extreme about this country I am
very reluctant to go into explicite detail about where it is

Because I lived there many years ago
of course I have deep feelings and emotions
about what is going on - It is Deeply Upsetting


The lives of Innocent defenceless
People should be Respected !!!!

and Human Rights do matter !!!!
International Law should be Respected !!!!

A Few Moments Ago !!!!

A few moments ago I paid a visit to your blogg
and I am delighted that You are having a Happy Time !!!!


[[-In my joy and genuine pleasure at reading about Your
wonderfull travels happieness and experiances !!!!
- maybe my perception was affected when I rather hastily
assumed that maybe:- "We are online at the same time
in the same time zone even though there is at least
a 1000 kms[or more?] between Us !!!!"-I do actually wonder is
the above correct ???? -[as I do get mixed up with dates and numbers !!
-Maybe I misread ???? Maybe I misunderstood ????
Maybe I was reading too fast consequently misinterpreting ???? ]]
- I am refering to the time indecated for your posting
- Maybe that is America time ????-rather than
Greenwhich[London] time which is the time zone
for Ireland,the U.K., Mali and Morroco !!!!
[and Actually maybe I am wrong about Mali ?
Maybe Mali is in the same time zone as Paris ?]

- Anyway Your Photos are Great !!!!
- Thank You for Sharing Your Happy Experiances !!!!

I am delighted that You are meeting so many Good People !!!!
I am delighted that You are having So many Good Experiances !!!!

I Wish You a Very Happy New Year !!!!
I Wish You Sucess and Happieness
in Your Travels and in Your Life !!!!
God Bless You in Every Possible Way !!!!

If You can ? - Try to be Senceble !!!!
If You can ? - Try to Be Good !!!!

May Your Guardian Angel Watch Over You !!!!
May All that is Good Guide and Protect You !!!!
May You Be Inspired in Your Travels and in Your Life !!!!
May You Be Blessed with Wisdom !!!!
May You also have Plenty of Fun !!!!
May You Be Happy !!!!
and Best of All = May You Be Loved !!!!

and Wherever You Go
May God Always Bless You !!!!

Immediate Intentions for the Future !!!!

Tommorow I Intend to
Travel out to Ros Muc !!!!
-I have a Lot of Work to Do in Relation
to the Music Course and also in Compiling a New Podcast !!!!

Even though I have only been in Galway for a few days:
-It feels like I have been here for weeks - Galway is like that
Galway is a great City yet I Do more Creative Work in Ros Muc -
I suppose because Ros Muc is Quite whereas Galway Wonderfull and
Delightfull as it often is;-is at the same time
full of vibrant distractions that at times wear me out
such as places to go people to see things to do
Yet in praise of Galway:-It is Blessed with Plenty of
Beautifull Wonderfull Women !!!! - and They Do Cheer me Up !!!!


The People of Conamara are Good People !!!!

Yet I do miss Female company out in Conamara !!
all the Women out there are either married or
going with or belonging too someone or spoken for
So Yes I do feel Lonely and Yes I often wish that
Some how Some way Some day God will Bless me with
the Woman who will Be Happiest and Most Content
to Share Life and Love with !!!!

-I have yet to Meet Her !!!!

- Yet in the early hours of Today in a Dream:-
[and this is a True Story - It Happened ]
- I Met a Very Beautifull Woman !!!!
and this Very Beautifull Woman
said to me:- "I Love You" !!!!
and when I awoke I wondered:-
"Is She the One" ????
"Is She the Woman" ????
- Who I have Yearned to Be With All my Life !!!!

If there is such a Truth as Destiny ????
If there is such a Reality of People who
are Pervect for and Destined for Each Other
Is the Woman who spoke to me in a Dream my True Love ????




As for my next net access ???? [-well actualy here i am on monday 5th -i compiled a 10-20 minuit 'mini'podcast yesterday 4th- however it is looking very unlikely that it will go out;because it looks like my other 4 podcasts will be removed from the podcast server;and the only excuse for the 'quickie' mini-podcast is to save the other 4.-as for my journey to Ros Muc ? - i was waiting 2 hours in the freezing cold after nightfall for a Lift outside oughterard on saturday 3rd
- Thank God I Got a lift !!!!]
As for my next net-access?- Maybe it will be the 13th or 14th ????
as you can see I am making the effort to type
[write]'Normal'and I will try to ease-off with the[-!!!!-]and the[-????-]
also I will try to ease off in the excesive misuse of 'CAPITAL'letters
as for my New Year'celebrations'? - well rather uninspiring and
uneventfull in that I went to bed early and I had a good night's sleep
- I did intend to go out and celebrate - however what was intended as
a 1 hour 'cat-nap' became a full night's snooze/sleep
- ah well I will be 52 in May this year and people of my
Illustrious Noble Vintage do require and deserve our
refreshing/reinvigorating occasions of slumber !!!!
- I am aware the above must seem alien and strange to
a Young Lady of 34 [ 17 years younger than I]who by All acounts
had a Wonderfull and Splendid Happy New Year !!!!

To the Woman who is Travelling !!!!

The Purpose of this Posting is to communicate Information
to You that may be Usefull/Helpfull and Relevant !!!!

If and when I next send You an e-mail ????
I will be asking You for a Postal Adress !!!!
because my Internet Access has recently become
restricted irregular limited and unpredictable
It is making it very difficult for me
to Give You feedback in relation to your Blog!

-It is a Pleasure to Read and It Reminds me of when
I Travelled by Ship across the Straits of Gibralter
from Algeciras in Spain to Spanish Ceuta[in Africa]
That was in 1977 - I spent a week in Morocco !!!!
I Travelled as far south as Fez[-i was hitch-hiking]
I remember the wind coming over from Africa and
Dolphins swimming in front of the Ship as we travelled
across the Straights of Gibralter and than in Morocco :
- The Vibrant Life all about !!!!
- The Friendlieness of the People !!!!
and The Vivid Colours of Moroccco !!!!
[-comments posted 1st May 2009]


Today is saturday 25th april
and a few quick words:-

The posting of 25th November'08 is Good !!!!
[-'i think i have found a little slice of heaven']
-it is where you describe your first visit
to Maalem.S's - it is an Enjoyable Read !!!!

Throughout Both Your Blog's Little Details Stand Out !!!!

- you refer to Y.[24th/4]as a brother-also in another posting
You refer to your Good Friend H. as the big brother you never had
- i was Touched by what you wrote off when you described something
H.said:'May Allah Protect You !!!! - that is Very Nice what He said !!!!

-also in another posting You describe the custom of Saying:-
'Ma'Saalam'-!!!! - with a hand over the heart - I Like It !!!!

In 'Refl.on a B.Wg.' you mentioned a small detail that Actually
is a Very Important Point to Consider:'The Importance of Obtaining
the Opinion of People who Do Not Know You'- That is Important in
Relation to Objective Feedback in Relation to Your Writing !!!!

We have Met and there is a Lot I Recognise[and Smile at with
Friendly Affection and Goodwill]when I read what You Write !!!!
-So of course Naturally I Enjoy,Appreciate and Admire Your
Writing !!!!- Yet could my Opinion be regarded as Objective ????

Anyway as Always Goodwill and Love to You !!!!
- and May God Bless You in Every Good Way !!!!



On 'Ryht.and Refl.':
The 4th Febuary'09:'smiling,laughing,dancing..'
The 9th Febuary'09:'mali,morocco,emotion,religion'
The 25th January'09:'looking back on 5 months'
are 3 of my Favourites because
they are so wideranging and varied !!!!

- and your posting[for Today 23rd'09]is Good
because of the Reflective way it looks Forward !!!!

- i also like the very early postings
at the begining of this blog in 2008
[like saying 'goodbye'to your piano
and goodbye to your place of work]

-i especially like your posting of 17th june 2008
-it is very thoughtful very reflective very beautiful

[comment posted 21st and 22nd April 2009]

After a very quick 'Speed-Read' of"Refl.on a B.Wg":-
- the 'Phoenix Wall' posting of the 17th march
and the 'Power of Samba'posting both really stand out !!!!
and the theme of 'Rediscovery of yourself'emerges
also the theme of 'Rebirth'also a sense of
Something Bigger than Us at Work !!!!
also

-and In that Blog there is Plenty More !!!!
- It is a Good Blog !!!!


May I also Say in Truth:-

the Photo of You with the Lovely Smile
[in hair-braids and your arm in a sling]

- Wow !!!! - What a Photo!!!!
- You Look So Beautifull !!!!



as for:-
"Rhyt.and Refl." ????

- your 'Thanks-Giving Day' posting is Lovely !!!!

and'RandR'would make a Really Good Travel Book !!!!

-these are just very rushed opinions
when i can find the Time ????
I would like to send you a detailed e-mail Re:2Blogs
[to'info@nuanceM.P.']

Because my Access to the Internet
is Often Restricted,Limited and Unpredictable:-

- I Might Also Be Asking You For A Postal Adress
- Exclusively for the Purpose of Communication !!!!

[comment posted friday 17th april]



Reflecting on your request:it has occured that you may have
Two Possible Routhes/Ways to Publish Your Writing:-

1]- The Conventional Routh as in Get it published as a Book
and Certainly there is a Huge Appetite Out there for Travel Literature
and Your Blog['RandR'] would make a Wonderfull
Enjoyable Travel Book !!!!

2]'Rhyt.and Refl'as a 'Multi-Media'*Product*
[audio/video/photos+links to other web-sites{wiki/'refl.onb.wg]
and if you could find an online publisher?
- maybe even your ex-employer might even consider
embarking into On-Line Publishing
[a daft suggestion maybe? - yet a suggestion!]

Just started an attempt at a detailed e-mail response to your request
don't know though will it ever go out?
- I Promise It Will Go Out if it is Decent !!!!
at the same time it could be 1-2 months before it is ready[if at all?]
..Got to Rush Off ..... just called for Rehearsal again ..
{comment posted thursday 16th april]

Just came upon your request for Feedback in relation to Your Two Blogs
and I would be Delighted to provide You with Honest Truthful Opinion !!!!
[Today is wednesday 15th of April] We have Two Concerts next week
to prepare for so i am very Busy at the moment - however everything
should personally Quiten down in 2 weeks time - and I Promise You
that I will do the best that i can in relation to Feedback Re:Your Blog
Today i had a quick 'speed-read' through: 'Refl.on a b.wing'and the Posting
that really stands out is "The Power of Samba" also in another Post You
speak of what occured on a visit to Phoenix mountain ...
... Look i have to Rush ..just called back for Rehearsal..




A few moments ago I was watching a very gentle video on the computer
about Pain Relief "Labour pain relief" from 'Expert Village Videos'
It might help and Inspire you to Overcome your prescent difficulty?
The E-adress is :-

http://www.expertvillage.com/video/128236_labor-pain-relief-healing-meditation.htm


As for my recently accelerating hectic existance at
the immediate ongoing moment as I type away merrily????

The past few days have been very busy!
and today has been the craziest!- I have been literaly run-off
my feet with activity and constant changes in schedule[we are
working flat out with asignments for the music course and also
rehearsals for our upcoming concert]and I have very little time
available to write up this blog!- yet because I Care about You
I made the Effort today to do some quick research on the internet
in relation to possible solutions to your problem with your back
and also to visit and post two comments up on your blog.
- and First I Wish to Apologise to You for my Well-Intentioned
Yet clumsy communications['typos' and spelling mistakes ete]
Please understand that there are People constantly about me
asking me questions and interupting me as I attempt to Type
consequently it is very difficult to concentrate on ...
Interupted again this Time call for Rehearsal...Got to Rush!

Just to let you know:

-I Love You and I Care About You !!!!

- God Bless You !!!!

[comment posted thursday 9th April 2009]




Just read your post for the 2nd of April and my Reaction
is that I am Very Sorrey to read about the Pain that You
are going through and I Do Scincerely Wish that I could
Offer Useful Advise:- I read somewhere about the Ability
of Magnets to Relieve Pain[-i have just 'googled'
magnet-theraphy and there is a 'Wiki' on It]
- Honestly I do not know what will help?
- Maybe It is a trapped nerve?-or a slipped disc?

My Heart Goes Out to You !!!! - I Will Say a Prayer for You !!!!

[-this is the 2nd comment that i have posted today 2nd April]



It is a Lovely Sunny Day Today and Earliar on Today
I was Lucky and Blessed to be able to Access the Grand Piano
I Love that Instruement !!!! I Love Playing Music on It !!!!

A Funny Sight:a short while ago[in front of my class]
I was feeling so Exuberant with Joy that I Impulsively
jumped Up in the air again and again 'kicking my heels'
Everybody thought it was so Funny They were Laughing !!!!

I am Hoping that when the Oppurtunity presents Itself
to Delete 90% [per cent] of the Posts in this Blog - also I Do Intend
to Keep This Post Open for the Purpose for which It is Intended
[ though i intend to Delete 90% of the prescent Content!]

- I Wish You Well God Bless You !!!!

[this comment posted thursday 2nd april]




Congragulations on obtaining your New Appartment !!!!
It is a Wonderfull Achievement !!!!! Congragualations !!!!

and God Bless You !!!!
- [comment posted saturday 21st march 2009]



Probebly it is Unlikely that You visit this posting
- Yet just in case You do ????
- This morning 19th March I was thinking about your problems
with your computer hard-drive - Now i am No computer expert!
Yet what follows are a Few[maybe helpfull?] Suggestions:

1]-Awhile ago i read about External Hard-Drives and Maybe an
External Hard-Drive could be a tempory way to bye-pass the
problem?-an External Hard-Drive is relatively Cheap to Buy !!!!
2]-Or you could communicate with "Apple" the
manuafacturer of your computer to ask them for technical advice
3]-Or you could post/send your apple lap-top back to the
states and ask some-one to post you out a New Computer ??

Anything Else ????
- Yeah I Dislike the Latest Photos[11th/3rd]
that are Up where You are 'All Glammed Up' !!
- I Dislike Cosmetics - They are a Total Turn-Off !!
[as well as the 'Eyeliner' Photos - I am also refering to
the permanent Profile Photo where You are also'Glammed Up'

If and when i can get the oppurtunity? -i will write up this blog
I really enjoyed reading your postings for today 4th of febuary
[- i have to rush ...[we are very busy today].... Love You !!!! ]




Really enjoyed reading about your spin about and around Bamako
on the rear of a moped[as you describe in your posting of 28th]
The image of it brings out a smile!- it must have been Fun !!!!

The Music course that I am doing is very Intensive and consequently
I feel that I should Devote myself more to It - also that I should
Ease-Off in writing Up this blog - Yet I Wish You to Please Be Aware
That Often during the course of each day I Remember You and that
Often I Think of You !!!! - and
Often I have Positive Feelings for You !!!!
Probebly I Love You !!!!
God Bless You !!!!

[-i have to sign-off for now]

God Bless You !!!!






For light Inobtrusive[or should that be spelled Un-obtrusive?
recording:[The only reoson that i mention this is because in
your blog you have mentioned that sometimes you like to secretly
record music] - a few moments ago a person in our class demonstrated
to Us an interesting device that maybe You are already aware off?
-If Not?-this might interest You ? [for inobtrusive recording]
- it is called an 'ivoice 111'[macnally.com] and it can be plugged
into an 'ipod'- the 'ivoice'works like a regular microphone
Together with the 'ipod' - size/weight-wise it is incredibly Light !!!!

Earlier on today[28th] I had access to the grand piano and of
course I played many Airs - The Air that gave me the greatest
pleasure to play is an Air specifically dedicated to You !!!!
-It is the 2nd Air on 'agtosaceol 2' !!!!



Today[tuesday27th]has been hectic and that is the way it is nearly
every day that I attend this Music course - I have very little free
time to write up this blog.- I am actually very Tired at the moment
as I type this out! Whether You believe me or not?
- I Do Care about Your Feelings and Maybe what I wrote in responce
[to your posting of the 19th]- Maybe what I wrote is Harsh ????

- I have descided to Delete It as a Goodwill Gesture to You !!!!

As for your posting of sunday 25th?
- It is closer to the Real You !!!!
- It is closer to Who you really are !!!!
- Reading your posting of the 25th restores my
Positive Feelings for You !!!!

- I am exceptionally busy at prescent
- So I just do not have too much time
to be writing up this blog - yet I feel obliged
to elaborate on the emails that i sent you[dec'08]
- In Truth it is very unlikely that you will ever
Return to Ireland and In Truth it is very unlikely
that I will ever visit America - So it appears to be
very unlikely that We will ever meet in Person ever again

Yet ...Yet ... Yet ... Yet ...

- Of course I would Love to Be Peacefully Reunited with You !!!!
- and If it could Happen in a Good Way ???? - In a Way that is
Compatable and in Harmony with Both Our Seperate Lifes !!!!

There is One Important thing that I forgot to say to You
{in the clumsy e-mails that i sent to you late in dec'08}

- I forgot to say:-

"If Perchance We Do ever actually Meet again ????

-"Only Agree to Do what You are Comfertable Doing" !!!!

-what do i mean by all that ???? - well i do get a bit
carried away with all the affectionate talk about what
I would Love to do If You would allow me !!!!

To be Honest:-What I Most Wish to Do with You is:
- It would Be Good If We could Touch Hands
and take Our Time to Look into each other's Eyes !!!!
- and I would Love it if We could Be Relaxed and at Ease Doing So !!!!

as for Words and Talk ????
they are Not Really that Important !!!!

Yet If later on If You felt Comfertable about It ????
- Maybe We could have a relaxed friendly chat ????
and of course I would Love to Give You an Affectionate Hug !!!!
- of course Only If You are Comfertable Doing So ????


[[-at prescent i feel very inarticulate and it is Not an act !!]]
[[[- i suppose it is because: I Love You !!!! ]]]
[when i have time i will return to this comment posted 27th jan]



A short while ago in class we were listening to some music;and
asked to draw on paper with pencil what our impressions were
to what we were listening too: as I listened it became apparent
it was from Africa and the music was so good that I just had to
dance to it.- Afterwards we were told that it is a group from
Mali called 'Baba Salah'. - Once I was told that I just had to
tell You - It is True! -[It happened this morning 21st/jan'/'09]
- A FEW WORDS MORE:- if you 'google': 'Dambe the Mali project'
It was filmed at the Tuarag desert gathering 2008 and there are
Two well known Irish muscitions Paddy Keenan the uileann piper
[from the Bothy band]and Liam Ó Maonlai[from the Hothouse flowers]at the gathering playing with the local muscitions.
[It is also on Youtube ]
-You might enjoy viewing it !!!![comment posted 21st]

You should check out the phenomena of "CouchSurfing"
-it is an international community of People willing
and able to provide a place to stay free of charge
for People who travel. There are 780,000 registered
worldwide in 180 countries - It could be helpfull
in faciletating your funds to last longer travelling
If you 'google'the word:- CouchSurfing there is plenty
of information even a wikipedia on the phenomena.

[ - I will be adding to this post of the 2nd as Often as the
oppurtunity presents itself - also I wish that what I will
include be interesting,varied as well as relevant as possible:-

- You like the music of Ravel
- You like to Travel
- Put a "T" in front of Ravel
- and "T"+ Ravel = Travel !!!!

[-out where i live in Conamara there is a school-bus with 'Ravel'
on one side and 'Travel'on the other side-someone had accedently
painted over the"T" on the word 'Travel'- i'd love to put a photo
of it up for you to see - also a photo of the remains of the bag
of rice you left behind you in august'01 - Yeah i still have it !!!!
The rice looks o.k. and there is enough for two to eat
- Just Wondering?
- Any Possibility of You ever Returning to Ireland ????
- You are Very Wellcome !!!!


[-there is a lot of 'clutter' unintentionaly included in this posting
- and my intention is to clear out the 'clutter'from this posting as often
as i can when and if the oppurtunity presents itself !!!!]

Over the holiday period[between christmas and the new year]
I had greater access to the internet than I usually have !!
and I sent a lot of what[in my opinion in hindsight] amounted
to very clumsy communications to You !!
- when the oppurtunity presents itself I will elaborate
on what I refer too in relation to those 'clumsy'e-mails

As for the recent entries in this Blogg ??
-[4 postings on 2nd January '09]??
They are Equally Clumsy Messey and Inarticulate
When Time permitts : I will explain all !!!!

For example I foolishly[in a good natured way]
offered advise about travel through israel
- scince than I have been horrified
at the reports of what israel is doing in gaza
- I have lost all enthusiasm to speak about israel
[-comment posted 13th january '09]

Nonetheless If perchance You
intend or wish to travel via israel ???? Maybe this
could be usefull/helpfull information for you ????
- It may be posible at your point of entry to israel
to ask for[and obtain]the intended entry stamp for
your passport = instead stamped on a piece of paper
which you can remove if You wish to travel in
Arab/Islamic countries after your trip to israel

-At Present Feelings are running very High in the Islamic World
over what is occuring in Gaza - and It is Understandable !!!!


I am contemplating using this actual posting
as a "Sign-Post" posting in that I will use it
to point/direct you to other postings on this Blogg
- also my intention is to on a regualar[as in once a month]
completely Clean out/Clear out the majority of detail in this posting
and transfer the cleared-out material to a "Scrapbook"posting

My wish is that this actual posting will be Free of 'Clutter'
My wish is that this actual posting will only be used
to convey Essential Information to You !!!!

#
Do you remember when you were in Ireland that I advised you that:-
Sometimes I unintentionaly get my facts wrong!-So likewise I am
advising you to check out with Other People whether what I say
is Accurate ? - also in this posting I am attempting to write/type
in as much as it is possible in a 'Normal' way as in avoiding my
usual excesses of capital letters and exclamation marks everywhere
[- i placed this Paragraph in on saturday 3rd january '09]#

When The Oppurtunity presents itself and Only if I have
anything of possible Worth or Value to You ????
will I Return to this Posting of the 2nd January !!!!

- The Alternative is to e-mail You ????
and to Be Honest :- I do not know if you still
access or avail of the two e-mail adresses
that I have for You ???? - Over the past week I have
attempted to Contact You !!!! - However there is No Responce !!

So I feel it is Time "To Call It Quits" in attempting to Contact You !!!!

- I told you about this Blogg - So if you visit It ????
This posting[and/or Any other posting I direct/"Sign-Post" you too
from this posting]are the only Venues or Forums that I will avail
off for Now to attempt any endeavor to Communicate with You !!!!

of course If You ever Feel like Getting in Touch ????
- Please Feel Wellcome !!!!

For I Have a Lot of Goodwill for You !!!!
and Plenty of Positive Feelings for You !!!!



I Wish You Well in Your Travels !!!!
I Wish You Well in Your Life !!!!

God Bless You !!!!
