Hello Guest
You were very blessed to have so many wonderful, talented relatives, and I felt so lucky to become a part of so many wonderful, musical evenings. The gatherings after the pub closed for the night, were great fun. The first time I ever sang in public was in White's .   At the kind insisting of Sean White, and when I began singing, THE ORANGE AND THE GREEN. I thought my singing must have been very bad as every face became void of a smile as soon as I sang the first, few words. A few forced smile s re turned as they felt sorry for me. Later, a friend explained that it was not a good choice. I will always be grateful to Celestine White for making me feel at ease, and welcome after my blunder. ( Everyone clapped, I'm sure it was because I looked pitiful, and perhaps somewhat scared. ?? ?? )
This thread has given me so much joy! Thank all who have responded over the many, long years,........and God bless the Mudcat Cafe, and it' s wonderful creators!
