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 purchased a martin warthog bow a year or so ago. I have been told its in very good condition but was missing some stuff. I picked up the 8 arrow quiver but I had to purchase another old bow to get it but it is the correct one at least. A friend of mine brought me s martin deerslayer sight and I put a new arrow rest on it too. Was wondering if anyone knows exactly what sight was used on the one in the show? I got the 3 pin deerslayer sight on it now and it looks good but I don't think that was the one. Definitely a cool old school wood bow. Just trying to get as close as I can to the one on the show.

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

Well I haven't been here in a bit. The business we opened up wound up doing very well but taking up a lot of time as well but it is what it is. Wanted to answer the question that it isn't the one in north Carolina. I live in a small town called Plainville in Georgia, its between Rome and Calhoun. The garage/boars nest im talking about is just outside of Shannon ga towards Kingston Ga. The guy has a General Lee, a 69 F350 cooters tow truck, a daisy jeep and a hazzard patrol car. The garage is awesome and the boars nest is built to the RH side of the garage. Has the correct jukebox and pinball machine as seen from the show. Even has the machine that has the huge bands that Boss Hogg was using to shake the fat away lol. It's really neat how far he has put into it as in detail. He also has a toy section and there is alot of cool stuff there too.

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!

UNDERCOVER dukes

Two cars failed to make it to the grid for the opening race of the season. The Audi of Nico Hulkenberg had issues on the way to the grid and local hero Oscar Piastri crashed his McLaren after a power spike turned him into the wall. Neither of the dominant Mercedes had good starts, and both Ferraris made good progress off the line. It led to a lot of back and forth overtaking between Charles Leclerc/George Russell and Lewis Hamilton/Kimi Antonelli over the first 10 laps. Then, on lap 11, after some good opening laps, Isack Hadjar's car lost drive and retired bringing out a virtual safety car. Mercedes chose to pit both of their cars while Ferrari left both of their cars out. That decision would prove decisive as George and Kimi went on to claim a 1-2 finish for Mercedes with Charles and Lewis in third and fourth for Ferrari. Reigning champion Lando Norris could only manage fifth ahead of Max Verstappen who made it to sixth from his 20th place start. They were the only six cars who finished on the lead lap. Oliver Bearman finished seventh for Haas and at 18 years old, rookie Arvid Lindblad became the youngest British driver to score points in F1. The top ten was completed by Pierre Gasly in ninth and Esteban Ocon in tenth. Cadillac had one of their cars make the finish with Sergio Perez in 16th - the last classified position three laps down. You can watch the race highlights here. Despite the varying outcomes, nearly all the drivers felt positive about the race. You can see their reactions here.

Thanks HossC 😀

It's the same building, and it appeared many times. If you check out the Hazzard Square thread, it was located on French Street behind the court house. I labeled it #25, although the building shown on the aerial view is the replacement constructed between 1997 and 2000. It was the Hazzard Impound Yard in 'The Sound of Music - Hazzard Style' - see here, and if you scroll down that page you can see it as Boss' car lot from 'Share and Share Alike'. Scroll down further and you can see it as the Apex Rent-A-Truck office from 'Coy Meets Girls'. In 'The Dukes of Hazzard: Reunion!' TV movie the building was Red Perkins' garage (run by his daughter, Mavis) - see here. The building was replaced sometime before 'The Dukes of Hazzard: Hazzard in Hollywood'.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Hobie. Sadly, Dolores O'Riordan died from drowning due to alcohol intoxication in 2018 - she was 46. To show her range. here's a powerful song she wrote in response to the IRA's bombing in Warrington, England in 1993 which killed two children. Since Dolores' death, the song has become a stadium anthem, starting in her hometown of Limerick. I'm expecting this to be at least top five in the countdown of 100 greatest Irish songs I mentioned above. The Cranberries - Zombie

Tom PRYOR The old lawman in 'Witness for the Persecution'.

Yes, it's from 'Dukes Meet Cale Yarborough' in season 2. Daisy volunteers to paint the flag on the fake Generals.

Hopefully Garrett will be around more after NASCAR starts up.

Still no Garrett....and with the Bears having such a great year. Must have a flat tire behind Iron Mountain and the iron is messing with the CB
