How do I get you to make me a resonator and have it sent to Ohio for free?
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

What musical instrument do you play? And what type of music do you play?

Why did you leave Ireland?

Why did you move to New Zealand?

Why did you stop farming?

Was your question that good, CD, that you had to sticky and lock the thread? Tongue
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I play banjo, mandolin, bodhran, uilleann pipes, guitar, and penny whistle..  I play mainly Irish folk music.


I left Ireland because I was tired of it.  Bone tired.

We'd been to New Zealand twice and fell in love with it.  When the opportunity to sell the house in Belfast presented itself, we jumped.

I stopped farming because I grew up and left home.

If you can manage it, Wellies with football cleats.  The cleats provide traction, and Wellington boots so you can put the sheep's hind legs in them - improves your stance.

If at all possible, try to shag you sheep at the edge of a cliff.  It makes the sheep push back.

Have you ever attempted American folk/folk blues, and if so, how different are they? Guitar wise?

Fuck it, make me a video.

I quite like American folk - there are some surprising similarities between it and Irish folk.  I never played it much professionally - my paying customers were USian tourists who wanted to hear Irish music (I don't perform much these days).

I don't put images of myself online, sorry.
