Two girls for every boy

I bought a '30 Ford wagon and we call it a woody
(Surf City, here we come)
You know it's not very cherry, it's an oldie but a goody
(Surf City, here we come)
Well, it ain't got a back zitplaats, stoel of a rear window
But it still gets me where I wanna go

And we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun
Ya, we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun, now

The Homes Of Donegal
(Sean Mc Bride/ arranged Paul Brady)

I've just dropped in to see u all
I'll only stay awhile
I want to hear how you're getting on
I want to hear u smile
I'm happy to be back again
And greet u big and small
For there's no place on earth just like
The homes of Donegal

I long to see your smiling children
Standing door the door
The kettle boiling on the hearth
As I walk up the floor
And then to see a welcome free
For travellers one and all
For your hearts are like your mountains
In the homes of Donegal

I'd like to stay along with u
And while away the night
With fairy...

BBC Radio Foyle with Mark Patterson

Mark: And so, folks, to our People in profiel where all week here on the program for the seconde uur I’m just taking time to talk to a local person who’s made their mark in one way of another. Today, a surfer, singer, songwriter who started out with an acoustic guitar, as I remember it, at the local bar scene.

Overture and beginners please... Strike up the band... Stand door for Celtic Thunder... and "It's Entertainment."

This stylish and high energy trip through some of the great songs of the last 30years is pure showbiz! It is a tribute from Celtic Thunder to the legacy they have inherited from the great entertainers of the past, and a mark of how far they themselves have travelled as performers, in a few short years.

It evokes an era of big bands and boulevards, top, boven hats and tails and singing and dancin' in the rain! It makes for irresistible listening as the principals from this generation pay their...

"Everybody needs a little time away," I heard her say, "from each other."
"Even lover's need a holiday far away from each other."
Hold me now. It's hard for me to say I'm sorry. I just want u to stay.

After all that we've been through, I will make it up to you. I promise to.
And after all that's been zei and done,
You're just the part of me I can't let go.

Couldn't stand to be kept away just for the dag from your body.
Wouldn't wanna be swept away, far away from the one that I love.
Hold me now. It's hard for me to say I'm sorry. I just want u to know.
Hold me now. I really want to tell u I'm sorry. I could never let u go.

After all that we've been through, I will make it up to you. I promise to.

You're just the part of me I can't let go.

After all that we've been through, I will make it up to you. I promise to.

You're gonna be the lucky one.

Song: Wichita Lineman


I am a lijnwerker, lineman for the county.
And I drive the mainroad.
Lookin' in the sun for another overload.

I hear u singing in the wire.
I can hear u thru the whine.
And the Wichita Lineman,
is still on the line.

I know I need a small vacation.
But it don't look like rain.
And if it snows that stretch down south,
won't ever stand the strain.

And I need u meer than want you.
And I want u for all time.
And the Wichita Lineman,
is still on the line.

Song: The Island



They say the skies of Lebanon are burning
Those mighty cedars bleeding in the heat
They're tonen pictures on the television
Women and children dying in the street
And we're still at it in our own place
Still trying to reach the future through the past
Still trying to carve tomorrow from a tombstone

But hey, don't listen to me
This wasn't meant to be no sad song
We've heard too much of that before
Right now I only want to be with you
Till the mornin' dew comes fallin'

And I want to take u to the island
Trace your footprints in the sand
And in the evening when the sun...

Howdy ya'll, i hope that u are all behaving per usual and not doing anything that I wouldn't do!!!

I've been kept busy the past few week's doing anything and everything, to stay active. I wrote quite a cool wee tune last night on my 12 string fender, there is a class sound outa it and I'm glad i own it. It's funny sometimes when u lift a different gitaar and just get a completely different buzz outa it and write a style of song that u wouldn't normally, (well thats my excuse for owning all those guitarz!!!)!

The surf Hasn't been all that great since i got home pagina which is a pity but i reckon...

I found a Hobnobs recipe on-line, and after a few changes to the recipe (we don't do grams very well in the US..) I tried it out last night. They're a hit!! Hobnobs are fantastically delicious cookies! The recipe I found states that it's a pretty accurate 'copycat' version of the classic British biscuit. Here's the recipe:

240g self-raising flour (about 2 cups)
240g sugar (1 1/2 cups to 1 1/2 cups)
240g pap oats (about 3 cups) -- I used Quaker oatmeal
240g margarine (1 1/4 cup) -- I used boter - no margarine in my refrigerator!
1 Tbsp golden syrup (you can order it on-line... I used light...
