Music and agression - Gary Og's Irish Soldier Laddy

By far, most people are kind and friendly, I am conviced a 100%. However sometimes you end up in a place, where people are only friendly when you share their anger. Have a look a the embarassing discussing below this video of Gary Og:

Please give my reactions a "thumb up", if you're a normal person too.

The funny thing with YouTube is, that people with the same taste tend to find each other. Now, what you see here is that I, as an average person giving my moderate opinion to Gary's music and the aggressive fan-talk, only get thumbs down! Why? Because, IF normal people pass by this discussion, they all click away as soon as possible. Please don't do that this time, but support me with a thumb up!

Thanks and Power to the Normals!

The Ballad of Claudy

Two weeks ago a dutch woman gave me a CD on which she sang irish ballads as a 15 year old girl with her guitar. One of these ballads named "The Ballad of Claudy" impressed me so much that I learned it and here's what I made of it. The song is about a horrible car bomb attack in Norhern Ireland in 1972 killing 9 innocent people at random. Till today no "hero" was so brave to tell he did this.

Hope you like my version.

Hi SongDocs-fans!

This is the first message in the SongDocs-blog. Hope it's the first of many.

This weekend we played on three locations. In The Lowlander, my favourite song was "Roll The Old Chariot Along". In the middle we changed to a fast tempo and played a short instrumental, which prooved to be a very pleasant break for the public.
