On the rocky road to Dublin 1, 2, 3, 4, 5!

Tonight I wanted to stand up and dance, stomp my feet and sing at the top of my lungs. Yet, I was confined to my seat and had to be content with clapping along with the music. When the Young Dubliners come back to town, the party is usually filled with feet stomping and drunken sing-a-longs, but the La Mirada theatre goers were a bit too polite to enjoy themselves. I wish I had seen tickets for the House of Blues in Los Angeles before I bought tickets for the La Mirada Performing Arts Center. The Young Dubs were better than ever! It was a special night because they had Eric Rigler with them (the piper and whistle player heard on the Braveheart and Titanic soundtracks). I love their smoky voices and rip-roaring instrumentals. They always put on a high energy show. I am really looking forward to attending the Irish Music Festival in Irvine this year. Both of my favorite Irish bands, the Young Dubs and The Fenians, will be performing! I need to find my green top hat and get my Guinness hand ready for action.

"Buy You a Life"
Young Dubliners

Can’t fake a free fall
You get what you see
The next move is your call
There’s no guarantee
Careful what I might come to
Open the door. Beware.

Don’t live your life like you’re the only one in it
Don’t waste another minute
Thinking about yourself
Open up and throw back all your covers
Your sisters and your brothers will buy you a life

Lower your defenses
Come follow me
We go in a perfect circle
End where we both can see

Don’t live your life like you’re the only one in it
Don’t waste another minute
Thinking about yourself
Open up and throw back all your covers
Your sisters and your brothers will buy you a life

Don’t fake a freefall
No movie scene
The next move is your call
Or get the better of me

This is where I have come to
This is where I begin, again

Don’t live your life like you’re the only one in it
Don’t waste another minute
Thinking about yourself
Open up and throw back all your covers
Your sisters and your brothers will buy you a life
