And I wish I was on the n17
Stone walls and the grass is green
And I wish I was on the n17
Stone walls and the grass is Greenland
Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams
~~~ The Saw Doctors
The stone walls and the grasses green of the N17 in County Mayo inspire Irish Blues for a St. Patrick’s Day show. You are invited to the blues tunes for green leprechans on WTBA 3/16 at 5 pm.
This image was captured from our drive along the N17 as we listened to tunes from the Saw Doctors. It was a brilliant day and full of smashing memories.
* May you have the hindsight to know where you’ve been, the foresight to know where you are going, and the insight to know when you have gone too far.
• You’ve got to do your own growing, no matter how tall your father was.
• It is often that a person’s mouth broke his nose.
• May the roof above you never fall in and those gathered beneath it never fall out.
• Lose an hour in the morning, and you’ll be looking for it all day.
• (When a friend can’t change a stubborn person’s mind) You might as well be whistling jigs to a milestone.
• Honey is sweet, but don’t lick it off a briar.
• If you buy what you don’t need, you might have to sell what you do.
• Forgetting a debt doesn’t mean it’s paid.
• It is better to spend money like there’s no tomorrow than to spend tonight like there’s no money.
• (To be said of someone who is unhelpful) She’s fit to mind mice at a crossroads.
• It’s easy to halve the potato where there’s love.
• Where the tongue slips, it speaks the truth.
• A good laugh and a long sleep are the two best cures.
• You’ll never plow a field by turning it over in your mind.
• (To be said of someone who outstays their welcome) If that man went to a wedding, he’d stay for the christening.
• Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you fight with your neighbor. It makes you shoot at your landlord—and it makes you miss him.
• If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at who He gives it to!
• No man ever wore a scarf as warm as his daughter’s arm around his neck.
• A family of Irish birth will argue and fight, but let a shout come from without, and see them all unite.
• (To be said of an unfortunate friend) She is always in the field when luck is on the road.
• There is no luck except where there is discipline.
• In every land, hardness is in the north of it, softness in the south, industry in the east, and fire and inspiration in the west.
• (To be said of someone who is very organized) If he’s not fishing, he’s mending his nets.
• Here’s to a long life and a merry one. A quick death and an easy one. A handsome partner and an honest one. A cold pint and another one!
