Is she Irish? I hope so...
Your very welcome.
She may be Irish but, not from Ireland. Kansas I believe.
Well, color me jealous!!
How is Fiona not incredibly famous? She took a George Harrison song and made it even more plaintive and touching.
That vid is beautiful. It made me want to cry..( a little.)
I'm Irish, but I'm from New York!!
It's always good to have a little Irish in ya..:)
The Eagles doing Funk #49. Sweet!!
I remember that Beatles/Lennon song. It was a very dark time for me, and then boom Lennon was killed and they were paying that song all the time.
I might not have agreed with his politics, but his death grabbed me.
