The Irish love music, at every corner of the street someone is playing an instrument or singing his heart out. They even have sculptures of musical intruments.
Thanks for not forgetting me this summer. LOVE this post. I used to go to Ireland in the summers to play fiddle so I really appreciate this sculpture and the quotation. I even brought back a little squeeze box. It is sososo cute. genie
Recently, I had the opportunity to play an Irish drum. What a joy! Having had the fortune of having friends who had an Irish band, I have listened to lots of live Irish music. Irish music is very nice. The accordion is such a fine instrument, as is the fiddle. Awesome!
I like the stone concertina the best.

A wonderful monument, and a terrific Yeats quote.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenCool piece of sculpture! Much Irish music was brought here by the settlers. Aboriginals really liked Irish music and many play the fiddle.
