Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: jacqui.c Date: 22 Nov 09 - 06:59 AM We're off out with the antique car crowd this morning - have to leave the house by 7.30 at the latest. |
Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: ranger1 Date: 22 Nov 09 - 06:51 AM Good (insert diety of choice here)! What on earth are you people who don't have to work today doing up at the ass-crack of dawn? |
Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: jacqui.c Date: 22 Nov 09 - 06:42 AM Another great night and Seamus (the man) outdid himself both in song and humour. I did note a few jokes that I've heard Kendall tell, but I'm not sure who got them from who. Talk about panties being thrown on stage led to a remark from Seamus that nearly had me choking on a mouthful of wine, but it's not the sort of thing that I can repeat here. We're going to try and make sure that it's not as long a time between Seamus's visits in the future - maybe coordinate with other house concert hosts in Maine. Thank you sir, it was a delight to have you here. |
Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: kendall Date: 22 Nov 09 - 06:28 AM Once again Seamus put on a superior performance and he always gives full measure.I say this from the heart, not the Bushmills he shared with me! My old Glen Morangie may be in trouble. He has a new CD coming out with cowboy songs on it that I used to hear as a boy going to the movies (10 cents for a double feature) on Saturday afternoons. For those who have never seen Seamus, he is a master showman who never loses his audience. I was never able to play 6/8 time with a pick but he makes it look easy. He also has more tasteless jokes than I do! |
Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: catspaw49 Date: 21 Nov 09 - 07:39 PM Well you need to have Mr. Miles bring his taste treat over to your house Sins. You could have him right there with his concertina. Can't be far, just an ocean in there, a few waves, not many at all, just a few...Dick Miles....Could be there shortly.......with voice too. Spaw |
Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: SINSULL Date: 21 Nov 09 - 06:48 PM Having only one bathroom I think we will pass. Food is going 'round, lots of it. So is some Black Bushmills. Should be an interesting evening. Bye. |
Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: The Sandman Date: 21 Nov 09 - 05:15 PM Ingredients: two pounds of cactus prepared and diced a couple cans of diced tomatoes three or four pickled jalapeno peppers (or to taste) three cloves or more (to taste) of garlic one-half medium onion a can each of red kidney, black bean, and pinto beans pinch of basil a bunch of cilantro quarter cup of olive oil couple dashes of salt and some ground black pepper will add flavor A handful of sunflower seeds, shelled pumpkin seeds, or pine nuts, or any mix of them For a real crowd pleaser at a picnic or party make this cactus salsa ahead of time and allow to blend its flavors in the refrigerator for a few hours or more. Just mix all the ingredients above that you can obtain. Some hot peppers are always in favor here in the SouthWest, but other folks may need it tamed down on the hot peppers some. One can use this as a dip for tortilla chips, or a relish and garnish on burritos (see breakfast burritos to the right), meat dishes or a general spicy condiment. |
Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: gnu Date: 21 Nov 09 - 02:28 PM No desserts for deserters! Hope all have a great time! |
Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: John MacKenzie Date: 21 Nov 09 - 01:20 PM Just desserts? Or maybe she means, unjust desserts! |
Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: SINSULL Date: 21 Nov 09 - 01:04 PM HHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Desert or breakfast. We can only hope she means dessert or we may get our just deserts or is it desserts? Any more desertions? |
Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: Jeri Date: 21 Nov 09 - 11:26 AM Mary, I'm so, so sorry to tell you this. I got up this morning and figured I really ought to bring some food this time. Now, I don't cook that much, but I think I know what I can do, so I will. It's either desert or breakfast. So, I apologize, but I can't not come, and I will bring this thing if I manage to not turn it into charcoal when I don't not show up. Thank you, and again, I'm sorry. Sorry about the other folks, too. |
Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: SINSULL Date: 21 Nov 09 - 11:14 AM We have had a couple of cancellations. Peter and Joann had to cancel - he has to work. Maeve is trying to be in three places at one time. LOL You will be missed. Meantime, the turkey is cooking. The beds are made and all systems are go. |
Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: gnu Date: 20 Nov 09 - 01:10 PM I sense that somebody else is going to the cellar soon. |
Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: maeve Date: 20 Nov 09 - 10:16 AM refresh...Alice has been here. |
Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: SINSULL Date: 19 Nov 09 - 04:36 PM Alice never keeps a promise. |
Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: Becca72 Date: 19 Nov 09 - 03:41 PM I'll share my seat with any of the kitties...so long as Alice promises not to pee on me. |
Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: SINSULL Date: 19 Nov 09 - 03:35 PM Worse than that he chooses the best seat in the house and gets the best scraps. My kitties are never amused at his antics. |
Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: gnu Date: 19 Nov 09 - 02:57 PM Seamus is one lucky dog. How many dogs can claim they get to go to concerts/sessions by amazing talent and for free? I mean, it's not like he is working security and sniffing for... nevermind. |
Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: SINSULL Date: 19 Nov 09 - 12:00 PM Jacqui heard from some of Seamus' fans - 6 more. I count 18 for now. |
Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: Cuilionn Date: 18 Nov 09 - 10:02 PM A farmer's life... too busy working outside in the Spring and Summer to "indulge" in computerfication. Fall and Winter, the only way to stay warm in our 1830s farmhouse was to huddle around the wood stove, far from the cold back room wherein we ensconced the computer. We abandoned the old farmhouse last year when we could no longer keep it warmer than 35 degrees INside. At that point we looked at our 20-year-old toasty-warm woodshop and decided to engage in some Rural Real-Estate Flipping (that's when you make your outbuilding into a house, and your house into an outbuilding). Now the "new" woodshop-turned-cosy-wee-cottage is done, and I have a laptop that allows me to type while enjoying the warmth of the stove. So..... ceilidh, anyone? We're just fifteen minutes inland from Freeport, and we'd love to have this place graced by a few good sessions! |
Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: ranger1 Date: 18 Nov 09 - 09:53 PM Oh, I know exactly where she's at. You ought to stop in and visit once in a while, being just around the corner from the wee ranger. |

Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: gnu Date: 18 Nov 09 - 04:06 PM Pink? Coral or rose or hot or.... ? I am VERY particular. I would use a lot of pink paint in my house as it apparently tends to calm a person (even used in police detention areas due to this effect), however, if I ever start dating again, I don't really want any of the lasses I bring home to be "calm". >;-) Of course, if the other Seamus and I did have to share any horizontal floor space, pink would be the best. PS... note that I refrained from saying "rooster dink pink" as I am a gentleman... when I am calm. |
Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: John MacKenzie Date: 18 Nov 09 - 10:22 AM Better than walking with one dear! |
Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: SINSULL Date: 18 Nov 09 - 09:43 AM Careful, MacKenzie. I am keeping a list. |
Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: John MacKenzie Date: 18 Nov 09 - 09:08 AM Oh my Snarling Clementine ♫쳌ô♫ |
Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: SINSULL Date: 18 Nov 09 - 08:10 AM Gnu - Micca's room is still decorated in pink. You can crash there or claim the other bedroom for your own. Just one or two rules - The cats can do anything. I don't snore. And do not speak to me in the AM before I have had sufficient coffee. You'll know when I stop snarling. |
Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: Becca72 Date: 18 Nov 09 - 07:57 AM Gnu, At the last Seamus Kennedy house concert @ Sinsull's(which was outside in summer) I watched the canine Seamus pick up my bottle of water, walk far enough away so I couldn't reach him, pry the bottle top off with his teeth and tip the bottle just enough so he could drink out of it. I wouldn't put typing past him! :-) |
Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: gnu Date: 18 Nov 09 - 05:42 AM I meant the other Seamus. In a way, I am offended. Of course, if HE could type...? |
Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: Seamus Kennedy Date: 18 Nov 09 - 01:03 AM I'll do a quick e-mail blast and put a mention up on Facebook, and see if we can get a line round the block. And I'm not sleeping with Gnu.... Seamus |
Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: gnu Date: 17 Nov 09 - 05:40 PM A little corner? I am 226#... THAT is almost 60 # lost now, but I AM STILL A BIG LAD. A little corner would not suffice. Maybe Seamus and I could lie in the middle of the floor? |
Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: maeve Date: 17 Nov 09 - 05:30 PM There is always room for a friend at Sinsull's house. maeve |
Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: SINSULL Date: 17 Nov 09 - 04:25 PM gnu - we can find you a little corner if you like. Don't forget Seamus. |
Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: gnu Date: 17 Nov 09 - 04:12 PM Sounds like a good plan, j. |
Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: jacqui.c Date: 17 Nov 09 - 03:23 PM Wouldn't that just be the best! All our friends and lobster too! |

Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: maeve Date: 16 Nov 09 - 07:48 AM It's November. I need to make some apple pie. Looks pretty good for my being there, Sins. I'll be up near Belfast for recording in the morning, picking up a roll of greenhouse plastic in Gorham, then tootling over to your place in time for potluck and music (new song to inflict upon you after the Seamus Show)...then home again. maeve |
Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: SINSULL Date: 15 Nov 09 - 07:46 PM Scallopped (SP?) Potatoes and a large salad. Lots of wine and a bit of the hard stuff. Head count? Seamus the man Seamus the dog Jacqui and Kendall Me Tami and Jason Becca Maeve Jeri Peter and Joann I haven't heard from Seamus' fans. Amy word????? |
Subject: RE: Seamus Kennedy house concert So Portland-21 Nov From: jacqui.c Date: 15 Nov 09 - 12:29 PM I just picked up a large turkey at a very good price today. I will be bringing roast turkey for the pot luck next Saturday. Might even do some roast potatoes to go with it. |
