The ship is in the harbor, love

That little quote above is from "Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore". It's a great song. I sort of know how he feels. Except that it's not the same. I'm coming back. He wasn't, I don't think.

Anyway, it's got an upbeat tune, as do a lot of Irish songs. I love the wild wild Celtic music, but I absolutely used to abhor Turlough O'Carolan, because he wrote a lot of slow, lyrical pieces.

Now I've slowed down a bit, but I love to set pictures to music. And a jig will just set Tintin chases well.
Saro O'Stuart (okay, that's Scots Irish but I don't know if I'm part Scot or part Irish, so it doesn't matter).
