    My daughter, LaureLea, the semi-famous singer/songwriter (locally anyway) and my granddaughter, AJ, landed in Dublin this morning. Just a wee vacation. They'll be there until next Saturday. If any of you Irish types see them. Say "Hi." Tell LauraLea the first thing her dog did after she dropped her off was throw up on my den floor.

    Dublin is by no means Ireland, so I trust the party moved on.

    It is usually assumed that Island is divided north and south, that is merely a political confection, the real divide is east and west with the Pale to the East being little more than a slice of misplaced Britain at times, however, over towards the Atlantic the Celts took refuge and here lies a much more intrinsic Ireland with Ennis once being considered at the heart of the trad scene.

    Alas, over the past 20 years there has been a decline and where a pub would of have a band of amateur talent there is now only some old lad croaking along to a Karaoke. 'Tis a sad spectacle TBH, and while I am sure there are true musicians still out there they are becoming ever harder to find.

    I do trust your daughters know where to look for the right company to keep as musicians. I love live music myself, if played well, so I wish them well!
