A republican song commemorating the uprising of 1798 by the Clancy Brothers.


McIllhaton by Christy Moore

The Foggy Dew by the Chieftains with Sinead O'Connor commemorating the 1916 Easter uprising.

The Wolftones sing The Men Behind the Wire about the 1970's internments.
That's just over two hundred years of the Irish struggle for independence. The history is much longer still. No surprise that Ted Kennedy said, the dream shall never die, his ancestors have centuries of tradition of just that.

Dylan and Baez 1976

Two of my favorite preformers. I saw Joan Baez on a public TV program the other day and she is still as beautiful, talented and passionate about people and issues as ever. Our country was truly blessed to have activists like Joan and Dr. King who embraced non-violence but were unafraid to challenge the status quo.

Friday Dylan from 1983

Steal a little and they throw you in jail,
Steal a lot and they make you king.
There's only one step down from here, baby,
It's called the land of permanent bliss.

Well, I love ya pretty baby
You're the only love I've ever known

Beyond here lies nothin' ,nothin' we could call our own

WWIII Blues-Dylan on Friday

Half of the people can be part right all of the time,
Some of the people can be all right part of the time.
But all the people can't be all right all the time
I think Abraham Lincoln said that.
"I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours,"
I said that.

Les Paul passes away

Musician and inventor Les Paul passed away Thursday. Paul was a master musician but his mark on music will probably be the innovations he fathered in recording and playing music, Paul will be remembered as the inventor of the electric guitar. He was one of the first to add pickups to a guitar. Paul was also an innovator in multitrack recording. I think it is safe to say that Les Paul invented the way that most music is recorded today. His innovations literally changed the world of music.
