An Irish guitar song by The Horse / myLot

I tried to attach this one a couple of posts ago but could not find it on my computer. It turns out that it had been labeled wrong and then disappeared into the ether. It is called Road to Lisdoonvarna and is something of an Irish classic. I hope you enjoy it.

I'm glad it was calming. Not violence- or gas-inducing.

Thanks. I'll post it to YouTube eventually. But I haven't heard from Vanny in days. Is she OK?

@CarolDM I finally heard from her via email. Her keyboard is down, but she's OK.

@TheHorse Me, too. Uillen pipes especially. I know I botched that spelling. Davy Spillane does a bang up job.

@sallypup Egads, I can barely spell "pipes."

Well played - and sounds typically Irish. Glad you found it in the ether.

@JudyEv I had fun learning Israeli children's names when I worked at the Synagogue in Berkeley. I get lost when it comes to Asian names.

My friend called it something odd and neither of us could find it. I suppose "Lisdoovarna" isn't the easiest thing for two aging Americans to spell.

@TheHorse We found Nepalese names really hard to remember as there is nothing the least bit familiar about any of them.

Thanks! It's a pretty well-known Irish tune, and the Irish band I was in used to play it back in the '80s. But I never knew how to spell it!

I'm enjoying it! My fifth graders are supposed to be learning how to play guitar... but that got interrupted because they are still learning from home. They are working on different projects and the ones who have a guitar at home are doing that. (Right now they can play E and A chords.)

E and A. Important chords. What's next? G or D? Will e-minor be the first minor chord?
