The night before the morning after..."they're playing 'Last Night's Fun' again. Or maybe it is we who are playing it, the night before the morning after, before we left to spend the early hours and see the dawn in Ballyweird."
--Ciaran Carson, Last Night's Fun, p.2
Suffice it to say that there is a discipline for Christians called celebration. Yep. That's right. Celebration. The parable of the prodigal son is a great example of the importance of that discipline. And so was St. Patrick's Day at the Town Hall Pub and then at Duke's last night. Last Night's Fun, indeed.
Here are a couple of mp3 offerings for you if you would like them. As I bellowed from the stage, everyone should cry at least once on St. Patrick's Day.Fields of Athenry is a great song, a rebel song and a good cry in your beer song. Bring on the weeping.
Britches Full of Stitches is a little mandolin tune that I love to play. The band plays along with me in concerts, but yesterday at church I played the tune solo. This is a recording of my playing. I'm no Sam Bush, but it's a nice little piece. Enjoy.
Peace to you this day. I am going to sit on my butt and relax. I had a very full week. Oy. Veh.
