cont'd ...

I've just come across an interesting article about
a young lass in Ireland who met and married a Lithuanian
and fell in love with his country. It's the story similar
to the young Norwegian musician in that life is a journey
which can take us to the most surprising places if we
leave ourselves open to discovery.

Just for information - Many Lithuanians arrived in
the 2000s in Ireland when the Irish economy started booming.
According to Census 2011 there are 36,683 Lithuanians most
of whom live in County Dublin.

I just listened to "No Plan" and all that I can say is no tune, no voice (musical that is), no talent (except for self-promotion), a typical modern screecher who apparently never learned to play the guitar.

Sorry folks, but that's as I see it; must be the musician in me.
Can't stand Celtic Women either.

I think that the name of the production company sums it up rather well.

Dear SteeleRedux,

Here are another two links about the Norwegian busker
and her success in Dublin:

Dear Is Mise,

Music like art is very subjective it's true.

But in your case perhaps your playing around
with big guns and rifles has affected your hearing?

Just a thought.

Foxy,

Not at all, I still play the flute, recorder (or straight flute), Uillean Pipes and, of course, the tin whistle.
I'm not a guitar player in the usual 'strum a few chords' style, I like to play tunes on that very versatile instrument.

The Norwegian's songs are no different to the usual offerings on Rage.

I listened to a couple more of her tunes, she has talent---for self- promotion.
