Some Irish tunes for your listening pleasure. A couple of wave files - full-length, lilting, Irish melodies - they are so beautiful! I hope you can open them, or "save target as" to your hard drive and listen to them later.

"My Wild Irish Rose" ~ John Gary
"I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen" ~ John Gary

MIDIS
"Irish Lullabye"
"The Last Rose of Summer"
"When Irish Eyes are Smiling"
"I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen"
"Danny Boy"




Finest Friends....

May you always have work for your hands to do.
May your pockets hold always a coin or two.
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

Your gown is lovely! And yes, today we get to wear our beautiful green frocks! But, knowing it's also Friday and we usually wear red to show our support for the troops on Fridays, my hairdresser tinted my hair, and my designer embroidered red roses on my gown. :)

[Billie]

Thank you, Old Seadog, for your Irish good wishes! And I return the same to you!

Top O' the Mornin', Billie.

May the luck of the Irish be with you and yours.

I LOVE Betty Boop! :) (I am armed and dangerous with green graphics today and determined to use them LOL)

What does 'Erin go braugh' mean?

From what I have read here

http://www.faqfarm.com/Q/What_does_%27Erin_go_braugh%27_mean

It means Ireland Forever, but it is a battle cry, and means to stay faithful to Ireland forever. Who can forget that the Irish are referred to as "the fighting Irish", which ties in to "support our troops, wear red on Friday", at least in spirit.

That is so cute! Thank you Amy. Happy St. Patrick's Day to you and your family.

AN OLD IRISH TOAST

May your neighbors respect you,
Trouble neglect you,
The angels protect you,
and heaven accept you.

Hey, Mama Bear, didn't you tell me once that your hubby makes the best Irish coffee? And didn't you tell his secret is the brand of whiskey he uses? What was that?

Irish Coffee

1 shot of Irish blended whisky
2 tsp brown sugar
strong, hot newly brewn coffee
lightly whipped or shaken cream

Put brown sugar and Irish whisky into a coffee glass (or a wine glass with extra thick walls). Add hot, strong coffee up to 1 cm (1/3 inch) from the glass rim. If you are cautious, you can leave the spoon in the glass to lead off the heat.) Carefully add the lightly whipped cream over the back of a tablespoon.

Serve without a spoon or a straw. The cream moustache should be a natural side effect when drinking an Irish Coffee!
