To be honest, I'm not much of a drinker, and if I have a pint it's likely to be lager or maybe ale. I don't dislike Guinness, and it does taste different here, but I can't remember the last time I had one. My friend likes the 0.0 alcohol-free Guinness which I might try sometime since I usually have my car with me.

I think I'd have to agree. Maybe you'll like the vocals more in this one. It was on the soundtrack of the 1991 Steve Martin movie 'LA Story', hence the clips in the video. Enya - Exile

The countdown of the 100 greatest songs by Irish artists started on the radio today, and they got halfway with some of the songs I've posted recently already appearing. It'll conclude next Friday, and I'll let you know which ones made the list. In the meantime, here's a song by an Irish artist who wasn't mentioned in the build-up to the poll. Cathy Davey - Reuben While I was looking for the video above I came across a version in Irish (as Gaeilge) with a couple dancing. It's fun.

Thanks, Hobie. I've replaced your link with the alternate video. It's from a TV show, but I think they're just miming to the single. The one I posted was on their official YouTube channel, so I'm surprised it didn't work.

While I'm on Irish artists, I couldn't ignore Thin Lizzy. This song was written by the band's frontman Phil Lynott and guitarist Gary Moore about Lynott's newborn daughter. Phil died when I was 15, but I did get to see Limehouse Lizzy, the best known Thin Lizzy tribute act, about 25 years ago. Thin Lizzy - Sarah

Did you mean to put that in your Minor Mentions thread?

I watched the A-Team save a mission yesterday. And at the end I saw something amazing. Miz Tisdale hugging Mr T. So cool! I wonder if he told her she had to take a number to get a hug.

After a last minute invite, I got to walk in the St Patrick's Day parade today. It's fun being in it, but it does mean that I didn't get to see many of the other participants. Luckily, the weather stayed dry, but it turned cold afterwards. Combine the cold weather with the busy pubs and I decided to delay my Guinness.

I'm thinking that I might try a Guinness today. I mentioned ale above - have you ever tried it, Hobie. I see they sell Smithwick's in 14.9 oz cans in the US.

The General Lee is the STAR of the show.

Here's another Irish musician who remains a perennial favorite. I've just realized that this song is slightly older than me! Van Morrison - Moondance

Hazzard County is a great PLACE to live.

Emma Tisdale must be Irish then.

I'll try to keep up the Irish songs until St Patrick's Day, but not all of the great artists make songs with single word titles. Here's a great song about resilience and unsung heroes. It seems to have been an inspiration to a lot of the commenters on YouTube. Lead singer Danny O'Donoghue also spent some time as a judge/coach on 'The Voice UK' alongside Jessie J, will.i.am and Tom Jones. When you've been fighting for it all your life You've been struggling to make things right That's how a superhero learns to fly Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power The Script - Superheroes I'm now going to break the one word rule because I wanted to post a second song by The Script as we used to sing it in the choir. This one is about a man waiting for a girl to return to the corner where he first saw her. Paradoxically, given the title, I find it rather moving! Going back to the corner where I first saw you Gonna camp in my sleeping bag, I'm not gonna move Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand Saying, "If you see this girl, can you tell her where I am?" Some try to hand me money, they don't understand I'm not broke, I'm just a broken hearted man I know it makes no sense but what else can I do How can I move on when I'm still in love with you The Script - The Man Who Can’t Be Moved

Awakening was great! Beautiful music and women! Nothing beats an Irish Babe!

that one or Magnum PI's Ferrari 308

JUG of shine! Happy DOHD everybody!

the singing is so/so but I like the music! very....upbeat! I liked this! She's pretty good looking! ( She'll never beat Emma Tizdale but still...... )

Also Mr. Pruit's bull that chased Rosco and Enos!!

I can't post it here because Tír na nÓg is three words and this is One Word Song Titles. Celtic Woman aren't mentioned much back in Ireland, I guess because we have such a wide array of other great Celtic music to choose from. I see they're playing your state a few times in the next couple of weeks - are you going, Roger? Here's one of their songs that does have a single word title. Celtic Woman - Awakening

This band are from Mullingar in Co. Westmeath, a place more recently famous as the hometown of Niall Horan of One Direction. The Blizzards - Fantasy

I didn't see the video Hoss. It says " Video Unavailable." See if this one works.......

Brandy

Happy birthday Catherine! You still have many fans who love and appreciate you!

Its like I talked to cousin Roger once on the phone and he said I have a deep Southern accent but I told him , " Hey, I don't have the accent, you've got the accent....lol! Remember that one Cousin Roger?

Do I have a British accent? Well, yes I do, but which one? Here's a selection of some of the accents you could hear if you visited the British Isles.

Another Minor Mention ( sighting?) is Jack Field....his mailbox was run over by Rosco and Boss in " Enos In Trouble" S.5 Ep. 9

I went to my local Antique store the other day and I found a Now or Never record for $8 so ofc I bought it!! I can't send a pic because im on mobile but it sounds really nice!!

Another Irish band, and this one's a family - three sisters and a brother. The Corrs - Breathless

Extremely late to this, do you still have it?

OK. I feel like a law breaker......I'm supposed to take a shower tonight but don't feel like it, so I'll take one sometime tomorrow. BUT...one thing I AM going to do is ....indulge in the spirits.......although these are minor spirits.....Old Milwaukee's Best Ice....not a higher power ( hard liquor!) !! I'm about to head to the kitchen while I'm watching MASH! I'm BACK fellow Hazzardites! I'm starting on my 1st one and watching Jesse Watters and they're talking about American being about ready to kick the Mexican drug cartel's ^&*$!! ....I'm about ready for #2 !! Hey fellow Hazzardities!! Where is everybody?? I'm making a very important managerial decision....should I go to bed and watch DOH or should I get my DVD of DOH and watch some now and then when I go to bed, watch even more ??

I think it's Appleby....but I.....kinda lost my way...so....not sure.....LOL ( I'm slowly drinking one now! )

I'll keep my mouth shut but I don't even know which doctor you go to. Is it Appleby or Petticord? Never mind, I don't want to know.

I'm sitting here slowly drinking a Milwaukee's Best Ice and watching Scooby Doo ( soon to be DOH) and I will drink a few more but I'd appreciate it, if nobody told my doctor. He doesn't like it, because of the surgery I had a little while ago!

If she's not as sexy as Miz Tisdale I'm not interested. But nobody is that sexy....well....the only thing sexier is.... Miz Tisdale riding a wheelie on her dirt bike.

I don't know if you'd like it or not though.....it's not as good as it used to be and they've up'ed the membership fees so......NAAH!! Happy DOHD everybody. I'm about to jump up from here and go get my wife from work and then I'll have a few Adult beverages when I get back and put in another DOH DVD and get back here in Hazzard. I'll tell you guys what I'm watching in case you want to watch with me. Hey Hoss...you better be careful...LOL! That video you put up had a girl laying down in slacks and...well...just be careful ....it was a little risqué LOL! be careful of of the MP's we have around here......( MP = Morality Police) I'm back and indulging.....I'm about to watch Jeopardy and then the news and then another Jeopardy and then....I head to Hazzard County!! My DR. gives me a dirty look when I talk about drinking because of the surgery I just had. Believe it or not, drinking hard liquor is better for me than beer because hard liquor doesn't cause the gas beer does! Hey guys! ( Fellow citizens of Hazzard! ) Nobody checks in on Friday night anymore! This is the day/night that DOH got going! We should try to be here and celebrate it!

It looks like Garrett's still logging in, but just not posting at the moment.

Yes! Life is good once more. This ain't the same place without Garrett!

Watched the very first episode in January 1979. I was 4 years old. Man that was a long time ago

I haven't been here in awhile. Life happens and so I quit my job and started my own business. Anyway just recently I was told of a museum close to where I live that was like the Boars Nest. Literally 20 minutes from my house out a little 2 lane road was this awesome spectacle. It is Cooters garage from the California episodes and it is very much tv accurate. To the RH side he has built a screen accurate Boars Nest and when I say it is screen accurate I mean down to the original juke box and pinball machine. Boss's office has the pool table and the big sword fish on the wall. I can't figure out how to post pics on here since I'm just not great with that kinda stuff but I got a clip of the inside of the Boars Nest and several pics of the outside right down to the red Hoggoco gas pumps out front. The guy has a daisy jeep and a patrol car. The general lee is in the paint shop and he also has a Cadillac and a wrecker in the works too. It's hard to explain in words just how awesome this place looks but it is really cool

The Duke boys go in through the WINDOWS of the General Lee.

I believe VERN flew an ultra light.....didn't he?

OK my fellow Hazzardites....it's Dukes Of Hazzard Day! Happy DOHD!!! I'm about to watch Jeopardy ( a special celebrity edition but around 8:00pm central....I'll have my DVDs of TDOH.....I'll tell you what I'm watching, in case anybody's here and wants to watch with me! I'm about to partake of the spirits....Natural Ice ( Ice beer is my favorite! ) and finish Jeopardy! I hope everybody is having a great DOHD ! Hey, Hoss, your Irish song stuff is excellent! I love Irish music......because I'm Irish on both sides of my family? I HATE Guiness....so....???? But the music is excellent! THANK YOU! Right now...I'm watching Ding Dong The Boss Is Dead!

The music was nice but the words confusing

And that was a compliment! I love a southern accent. My favorite singers are Charlie Daniels and Loretta Lynn. I always wish the Dukes had accents that were more southern sounding but they probably couldn't find enough actors. Sonny is southern but your accent is way better than his. If I ever moved South I'd have an accent in a few days. It's such a natural relaxed way of talking.

BB davenport....remember him?

I'm about to watch Vance's Lady....WHERE IS EVERYBODY??? It seems that nobody ever comes to Hazzard on Friday nights any more!! Now....one more before I hit the shower and then go to bed .....and watch more Dukes of course.....:) If anybody's here.....Let's watch " Hazzard Hustle" S.5 Ep. 8

The Chickasaw County Impound Yard in Season 5 The Treasure of Soggy Marsh and Season 6 Dead and Alive, is that the same set played Murkin's car lot in Season 4 Share and Share Alike?

I've been reminded just how many great Irish artists there are, so I have a few more tracks which I'll spread out over the next few days. Next, another song inspired by unrequited teenage love. Singer Dolores O'Riordan wrote this about her first kiss at a nightclub when she was 18. She fell in love, but then saw the man of her dreams kiss someone else a couple of weeks later. I was amazed to see that this video has had over half a billion views and over 90k comments. The Cranberries - Linger

Happy birthday in Hazzard Heaven Vance. We miss you. Feb 21, 1954 to July 23, 2011
