It speaks to my soul. My heart beat becomes the rhythm of the feet stomping on the wooden floor boards. <BR/><BR/>I thought about it after coming home last Sunday night and I realized that although I probably wouldn't want to get too close to any of the people in the pub because anytime you talk to Irish people religion comes up (my whole family is Irish and very strongly Irish-Roman-Catholic), I can somehow still feel like I am in touch with something much older that we have in common through their music. <BR/><BR/>For me, listening to the old music is like going to church - I feel like I'm communing with something older and larger, and deeper than myself that goes back, back, back to my ancient ancestors.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09730030907624066698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1032295780968805443.post-17550110495501115892009-03-03T22:15:00.000-08:002009-03-03T22:15:00.000-08:00I promise you you do not want to hear me sing lol....I promise you you do not want to hear me sing lol.When I was a child I used to sing in choirs and then my voice broke.
