Well, there you have it. A second night of lasting memories. A twist tonight...."County Hell". My wife's cousin was in his glory. He had hoped it would be played and he had his wish answered. We almost...almost were treated (maybe) to a solo performance by Mr. Fearnley, but his mates showed up before we could find out what it was. Shane endorsed "Brokeback Mountain" as the best western ever made and a rowdy Scotsman rushed the stage and was diverted by James. Shane felt the band was a bit "conversational" on stage and Terry did a lights out rendition of "Young Ned". Perfect. I have a few photos and a few film clips I took. If I can figure out how the hell to present them to you, I will do so soon. I filmed "Broad Majestic Shannon", "Body of An American", "Thousands Are Sailing" and "Boys from the County Hell." I tried to film "Fairytale" but my first memory card ran out, then internal memory, so it is fragmented, to say the least.
Ella, again, great job and a real sport with this bunch.
Now, I begin my sweet Pogues hangover, hoping again to someday imbibe.
Thank you for two nights I'll never forget.
P.s. Corey, if you cared, really cared, you would have stopped me from eating those offensive egg rolls.
Did the old songs taunt or cheer you, and did they still make you cry?
