Hey, can't let Elizabeth have all the fun!! (I imagine she's collapsed in bed after class so it's safe to needle her...)

Just got home from teaching the last Gaelic singing class of the season--what a thrilling ride! We sang "Liam Ó Raghallaigh" again tonight, Annraoi, and many thanks again for the lovely version you gave us. Go raibh míle, míle maith agat. I wish you could have been there to share in the fruits of your generosity--an entire room full of people singing their hearts out in Irish! We did record it, so maybe you'll get a chance after all.

Poor Navan Town...why does it get so much bashing? We're not named after it, but I'm about ready to launch a "Bolster Navan Town's Reputation" campaign.

I was imagining my reaction to an Irish band up and naming themselves "Mauston" (teeny Wisconsin town) and singing songs in a Mauston accent--no, wait, Maustonites use totally Irish sounds already ("Moychael, nohhhh! Dohhhn't yoooz da maanohh moyk!) (Michael, no! Don't use the mono mic!) Hmmmm...

Thank you for the kind words, everyone, musical wishes to all...caffeine levels dropping, must sleep...
