My ma fell in love with these guys.

The gals in the audience are going nuts.

Gaelic lends itself well to music I guess.

(Irish Gaelic chorus)
A Thiarna, déan trócaire (Lord have mercy)
A Chríost, déan trócaire (Christ have mercy)
A Thiarna, déan trócaire (Lord have mercy)
A Chríost, déan trócaire (Christ have mercy)

For good measure.

****************************
Let me begin with saying I loved the music. But I believe that any language lends itself well to music and the music written definitely lends itself to that particular language. You wouldn't expect O Solo Mio to be sung in Gaelic.

I did want to mention that I just finished reading a marvelously written book called Ireland penned by Delaney (that should be easy to remember). Even when writing in English, the Irish have a certain lilting quality to their prose. I would also like to point out that most of our great comedians are of Irish or Jewish descent. I believe this is genetic.

My only complaint is that Gaelic words written in English don't sound anything at all like the letters offered. I know this because I have a niece named Siobhan (pronounced Shivaun) Patrice Delaney and she has had a helova time constantly correcting her teachers or anyone asking her name.

My comment was a wry joke. It ain't so much that Gaelic lends itself well to music as they're a handsome bunch of great singing guys.

My ma practically swoons over they young kid with the deep voice.

Gaelic and Celtic both are confusing. Throw Welsh into the mix and no wonder modern English is so damn confusing to everyone else!

ALICIA SAYS: "You wouldn't expect O Solo Mio to be sung in Gaelic." No, but you can find Elvis singing it in "It's Now or Never"

I think certain kinds of music stirs something that's maybe connected to ancestry I'm an American never been any where but around the USA but when I hear irish or scottish music or watch the river dance I feel like I need to be with it stirres the blood but it does'nt effect everyone that way. I'm Irish/Scottish/French the french watered down and were caught as horse thieves given a choice of hanging or America and here we are. I'v met other people who have the same feeling but from different areas a lot of black people say they feel this from certain African music. Met a girl said French language and music did it for her. Possible ( so opp what stirres your blood?????)
