Yup... Sorcha Dorcha found itself in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last night... Genie, my wee wifie and I were invited to the Waldorph Astoria for a wee get together to welcome my old law school dean, John Sexton, into his new post of president of New York University... so we saw the crowds all dressed in their furs going into a ball room or something, and Genie and I in my plain Quaker togs, looking like Parson Jones started in, having forgotten to bring our invite with the room number... and with all the press snapping away, Genie says, I don't think this is the NYU reception... Quite right, says I, for it was in fact the Rock and Roll Hall of fame investitures... so we turned about and found our way to the NYU reception... so for about sixty seconds, Sorcha Dorcha was in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
SO, if you wish to get us back into the same, don't forget to send for the two Sorcha Dorcha CDs Nil Sasta Ach Amadain and The Times That Try The Soul... and pray that the R&R H of F has a broad enough interpritation of Rock and Roll to include Irish ballads.
Cheers
Larry

Well, Larry and Gregster, you two are in the Bobert's Hall of Fame and that means more to me than the one in Cleveland.

Ahhhh, but our records show that you both are a tad behind on your anual dues so if you wouldn't mind...

This used to be classified as a music thread, which I'd have thought it still was. Trouble is with having a Classification Police, it makes you feel a bit sarcastic sometimes. Do we really need it?
I mean, if InObu Bobert Alanabit Spaw etc etc are talking about music in the music department, what's wrong with that??

Well, I think we should give Spaw a big plate of nice BEENS! Then this will become a musical thread again!!!

Sorry to steal yer thread Larry, but I had to tell someone!

The first five CDs are free! And then I get to choose from a HUGE selection.....at only 29.95 each!

And get this Larry....even if I FORGET to get back to them....they'll STILL send me a "Popular Choice" like Celine Dion, or that older woman who lifts weights and fathered Michael Jackson's baby...Madonna.

Rick, thrilled

Pete Seeger actually is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He has told me in person he can't figure out why, but he realizes that it an honor just the same. Pete says he can almost understand why Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly are in it, but his being there makes no sense.

May be time to re-open another thread, Larry, as it develops that Judge Peter Nemeth has returned Martha Toogood returned to the custody of her mother--

I have been keeping that quiet, letting it go away MTed. The fact is that having won in the case, more or less, folks who say there was no racism will now say look the system worked... forget that at one point in this nonsence they were saying she was the female sadam husain (Boston paper, the Herald I think) married to Al Capone, and she was facing two separate five year sentences... but there you are, I hope a few of us helped a wee bit. Cheers and thanks for noticing, the family is very pleased that things are returning to normal.

Larry,

You will note that I *didn't* revive the thread:-)

As per the "no racism" comments--The fact that people think that it is noteworthy when "no racism" is involved in a judicial matter is proof of how much a part of our society racism is--
