Thank you for saying I have talent Sara. My muse has deserted me this long time so for now I must rely on the archives but I live in hope of her return.

Hello Joseph and thank you. I did not realise this one has vocals. One my father used to sing.

How sweet, grandma? by chance. Nothing like a small head resting on your shoulder to depict trust. I treasure the days - singing my granddaughter to sleep. Bet you have a lot of Irish songs in your repetoire?

Yes and no. No, I am not a grandma yet, although I am finally ready. Yes, I have lots of Irish songs under my Irish belt.
