And thanks for your comments about my Grandmother O'Halloran story. I'm always a little embarrassed when someone shows up for a performance and they've already heard what I'm going to tell, but I need to remember how much I love hearing my favorite stories and songs over and over again. Anne,

Thanks for coming out to the Celtic Fest! And thanks for your comments about my Grandmother O’Halloran story. I’m always a little embarrassed when someone shows up for a performance and they’ve already heard what I’m going to tell, but I need to remember how much I love hearing my favorite stories and songs over and over again.

Yes! There are so many stories we never hear! I didn't include the storytellers telling because taking only a few seconds from their stories didn't make a lot of sense when edited together. You'll just have to imagine how wonderful everyone was - and they were! :-) Tim,

I never knew about the San Patricios... a fascinating bit of history! Aw, Sue, you showed us the storytellers but not the storytelling :-(

It is so moving! I could listen to it a hundred times and would love it more each and every time. Thank you!
