Subject: Aine Springs Forth (or is that Back?) From: Áine Date: 15 Mar 02 - 07:44 PM Well, whichever way I should be going, I'm still going slowly. However, I got a 'well done' from the surgeon yesterday at the one month checkup, and even a "you're how old?" The catch is that he wants me walking two miles a day, three times a week, within five weeks. Geez, don't expect much, do he? ;-) As some of you know, I've been coming back to the keyboard (and microphone) one baby step at a time. I nearly cried for joy last week when I finally felt like singing again -- hadn't felt that way in a LONG time now. And I apologize to the few of you who received the soundfile I made from my excitement . . . Anyways, Layne (Dear Hubby) and I want to thank all of you who held us in your hearts, thoughts and prayers during this time of pain, and now, thankfully, recovery. Thank you all for the laughs (even though it hurt like hell to cough, much less guffaw at some of your comments!) and for the 'power of the Mudcat' that we drew upon during the worst times of it all. I have to admit that I've never had better friends than you folks here, 'nuff said. I love you all. In closing my first 'Offical Hot Dang I'm Back' message, I'd like to quote my granddaddy -- 'I've got my foot in the stirrup; but, I ain't back in the saddle yet' -- meaning, my energy level ain't up to kicking up a new Song Challenge! just yet -- but, give me a few days, OK? And here's a special hug to all the Mudcatters who've had so much trouble while I've been away. You've all been in my heart and prayers, even though I wasn't around to tell you so. Heck, here's big hugs and snogs to all of the rest of you, too -- on all four cheeks! ;-) -- Áine |

Subject: RE: Aine Springs Forth (or is that Back?) From: GUEST,Sonja Date: 16 Mar 02 - 12:44 AM Fantastic news, Áine! I'd love to hear your new music! We've missed the Song Challenge!s, of course, but mainly we've missed YOU! How 'bout we all walk two miles a day, three times a week, to show our support for The Gaelic Goddess? That way, we'll all end up in great shape (even if we don't look as good as she does)! Sonja |
|
Subject: RE: Aine Springs Forth (or is that Back?) From: katlaughing Date: 16 Mar 02 - 02:56 AM Wow, Sonja! That's a GREAT idea! I'll have to start out slow, like her, but I'll sure give it a try. |
|
Subject: RE: Aine Springs Forth (or is that Back?) From: John MacKenzie Date: 16 Mar 02 - 05:08 AM If you walk two miles every morning, for one whole week, you'll end up 14 miles away from home. "Lord I'm one, lord I'm two, lord I'm three, lord I'm four. Lord I'm fourteen miles away from home" Anybody feel a song challenge coming on? Slainthe Aine....Giok |

Subject: RE: Aine Springs Forth (or is that Back?) From: Áine Date: 16 Mar 02 - 07:31 AM *BG* -- You guys are great! And it's so nice to be able to laugh without hurting. But, it's even better to be 'back home' with all of you again. Kevin, if you think my song is good enough for these folks to hear, well then, go ahead and put it up. And I'm flattered that you would think so. And Amergin, you ol' dehveel, well, what can I say? I hate to brag, but pushing my bum around in that wheelchair for almost two months did wonders for the perkiness factor ;-) But the best result was a stronger left hand for barre chords, hammer-ons and pull-offs (hahaha). Hugs to all, Áine |

Subject: RE: Aine Springs Forth (or is that Back?) From: Morticia Date: 16 Mar 02 - 08:17 AM I'm so pleased to see you back.....and you front *BG*.Well done,I know it took determination to get here....the wenchnet rides again! |

Subject: RE: Aine Springs Forth (or is that Back?) From: Hollowfox Date: 16 Mar 02 - 11:12 AM Sounds great, Darlin', BUT (in my best Mom Voice) don't rush it, slow & steady, etc. If a recipe says to bake the cake for an hour at 350 degrees, it won't taste better if you bake it for half an hour at 700 degrees. Take care, hollowfox |

Subject: RE: Aine Springs Forth (or is that Back?) From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 16 Mar 02 - 02:55 PM Right then, here is Áine, sounding better than ever. Click on this and (assuming I've done it right, and I wouldn't bet on that) you get the words, in Irish and in English of a song she translated into Irish, and added a verse to - and there's a link on the page to her singing it.
You need RealAudio for this. If you haven't got it I suggest you get this slightly older version of it, Real Player 8 Basic,which doesn't try to take over your computer, which the latest version seems you want to do.
To get the song on your computer, you just right-click on the link to it from my page, and download. |

Subject: RE: Aine Springs Forth (or is that Back?) From: CapriUni Date: 16 Mar 02 - 05:50 PM Ditto what Susan said... And I'd like to welcome both you and your back back! |

Subject: RE: Aine Springs Forth (or is that Back?) From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 16 Mar 02 - 06:49 PM "To get the song on your computer, you just right-click on the link to it from my page, and download." - and just to play the song of course only have to left click and hey presto.
Or if you're in a hurry, just click here and Áine should start singing in a few seconds - unless the net is too slow tonight, which I think it may be. |

Subject: RE: Aine Springs Forth (or is that Back?) From: SINSULL Date: 17 Mar 02 - 02:02 PM Welcome back, Goddess. You've been missed. Did the doctor set a time limit? I mean, two miles in three minutes or such? |
|
Subject: RE: Aine Springs Forth (or is that Back?) From: Áine Date: 17 Mar 02 - 04:26 PM Geez, Sins, if I could do two miles in three minutes, I'd be in the Olympics (hahaha)!! I was all set to rev up the treadmill today, but I don't have enough wim, wigour or witality after working on a new song with Dear Hubby yesterday. It's a collaboration between ourselves and dear Amos (a trio otherwise known as 'Spam Spam, Baked Beans and Spam'). I'll let you guess who 'Baked Beans' is . . . ;-) Kevin, you've got me blushing on St. Patrick's Day -- a total colour clash, don't you know ;-) Go raibh míle maith agat, a chara. Happy St. Pat's to you all, Áine |

Subject: RE: Aine Springs Forth (or is that Back?) From: Amos Date: 17 Mar 02 - 05:33 PM Baked Beans? Is Spaw contributing to this song? What -- the rhythm section? A |

Subject: RE: Aine Springs Forth (or is that Back?) From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 17 Mar 02 - 08:14 PM Blushing on St Patricks Day - Green and Red. That's a fine combination of colours. (And a good political combination as well.).
And it's a great song as well. There's a sound file on this link for The Green and Red of Mayo by The Sawdoctors, one of my favourite bands. |

Subject: RE: Aine Springs Forth (or is that Back?) From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 18 Mar 02 - 07:23 AM Sort of analagous to a jug band was what you had in mind, Amos? |
|
Subject: RE: Aine Springs Forth (or is that Back?) From: Áine Date: 18 Mar 02 - 08:26 AM That's a fantastic link, Kevin! I downloaded all the MP3 files by The Sawdoctors, and all of them are great. I checked out the Trad page, and was happy to see Whirlygig there. I bought their first CD on MP3.com a long time ago, and it's nice to see that they're still making music together. Thank you so much for the link! And as for Spaw joining Spam Spam, Baked Beans and Spam; well, I wouldn't put it past him to be able to approximate the sound of a bodhrán with certain parts of his anatomy . . . ;-) And if we decide that we really need a trap set behind us, we could always hire Reg and The Boys! All the best, Áine |

Subject: RE: Aine Springs Forth (or is that Back?) From: MMario Date: 18 Mar 02 - 10:19 AM Grazie! Hope you didn't put too much "back" into uploading it! |
|
Subject: RE: Aine Springs Forth (or is that Back?) From: SharonA Date: 18 Mar 02 - 11:06 AM Glad to see that you're on the mend and well on the way to recovery, Áine! Just keep doing as the good doctor says... and no more rearranging the boulders in the garden, okay? :^) |
|
Subject: RE: Aine Springs Forth (or is that Back?) From: Genie Date: 19 Mar 02 - 05:59 AM Bee-yoo-tee-full, Áine! (Also nice to see the Gaelic words spelled out while hearing them.) When's the Spam & Beans CD coming out? Can't wait to hear y'all. Sooo good to have you(r) back on the mend. Genie (I PM'd the Celebrity Boxing blurbs, as you suggested. Just don't you try that at home!) |

Subject: RE: Aine Springs Forth (or is that Back?) From: Amergin Date: 19 Mar 02 - 02:37 PM Well, Aine....I am glad that your breasts are in such good shape....So have you learned how to pop wheelies in the chair yet? Maybe you can do some racing in it.... |

Subject: RE: Aine Springs Forth (or is that Back?) From: GUEST,ciarili Date: 22 Mar 02 - 01:46 AM Never knew you were ailing in any way, but I'm glad to be reading all about your recovery. This way I can skip the worry and go straight to the Hurrah! Sounds like something around your middle...did they give you a zipper, ya know, so you can just forget the purse, stick everything in there? Or is that where the little monster comes out at night, like on the X-files...? You'll probably get annoyed with me soon enough, as I'm full of requests, but maybe I can help out with the stuff I've collected already! Here's a health to ya! ciarili |
