A good Irishman once said “Ask not what your country can’t do for you, but what you can do for your country”.

Capt Sabrena Goldman it is hard to just pick one tune. I like to watch groups like Lord of the Dance, River Dance, and Celtic Women.

Mo Ghile Mear

https://youtu.be/zxjvNUNXhkU

‘“Mo Ghile Mear" (My Gallant Darling) is an Irish song, written in the Irish language by Seán Clárach Mac Domhnaill in the 18th century.[1] Composed in the convention of Aisling poetry,[2] it is a lament by the Gaelic goddess Éire for Bonnie Prince Charlie, who was then in exile.[3]

The song differs from more conventional Aisling poems. Whereas Aisling poetry normally has the poet asleep or otherwise minding his own business when he experiences a dream or vision of a fair maid, in this poem the poet personifies Éire/Ireland, the country itself, as a woman who once was a fair maiden but is now a widow. Her husband, the "Gallant Boy", is not dead but far away. As a consequence the land is failing and nature itself is in decline.’ ~ from Wikipedia 3/17/2018 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mo_Ghile_Mear

My Dad introduced me to the Irish Rovers when I was very young. Still enjoy their music. You can also look up Metallica’s version of “Wiskey in the Jar”.
