that was awesome. the music was so soothing i was playing it at work while i edited....
Oh, Seamus, you are so multi-talented! A writer, a composer, an artist with the camera. Now I want to visit Ireland, land of my ancestors (one branch of them, anyway). And I want to listen to your music all day long. I have copied the HTML stuff to embed this in my blog, but now I wonder which one. Maybe all of them, it's so good. No, I'll limit myself to Words from a Wordsmith. If I shouldn't be doing that, would you come tell me, please? I'll remove it, if I shouldn't be posting it there. But I love the music and the photos and the great job you did of combining the two. Thank you.
Simply gorgeous! You've made me nostalgic and homesick for a place I've never been. Or that I haven't been to yet.
I wish I could find better words to express just how much I love this. It's perfect.
Moonrat - Thank you. :-) I hope you didn't start editing in a few Irish phrases and words by mistake! lol
Bonnie - You are too kind. :-) Of course there is absolutely no problem "embedding" the video on your blog. I am honoured that you would want to. :-) I'm glad you liked it - I certainly enjoyed putting it together. It's a shame not to share the photos, which make me go all gooey! :-)
Bleeding Espresso - Thanks. :-) Yes, "places we haven't been to yet" is better. It's like, there are no strangers, just people we haven't met yet. :-)
Seamus, I'm back to tell you that I mentioned you on my blog today because You Make My Day:
http://bonniesbooks.blogspot.com/2008/01/oops-i-missed-bbs-anniversary.html
So good I played it twice.
The music is sublime with the photos.
Lovely!
I can't view these videos until we get back to the States because our service is as slow as dial-up.
But I'll still be back for your other stuff!!
:-)
Our paths have crossed, only in different times - I recognised so many of those beautiful scenes as places where I've trudged, sat and marvelled. Your pics filled with longing for the Emerald Isle - though not the weather! Beautifully done Seamus.
Now what I want to know is when are you going to try your hand at a Celtic tune for all your other piccies that I'm sure you must have! :-)
This was marvellous - never been to Ireland, but couldn't get over some of the resemblance to the Celtic areas of Scotland, Plockton; Lewis etc.
Had looked carefully at the photos previously - doesn't it bring them alive putting them in an evocative format with your music....
Fantastic. A multimedia experience. Thanks!
re name change; friends were googling a vjourney which was er,rather different...(: Too many vv's to pick!
Bonnie - I am blushing ... again. Thank you.
Lane - Twice? :-) Thank you. You'll be humming it next! lol :-)
Christine - Ah, the Church Lady is defrocked! Hello and welcome. What would we do without fast connections, eh? :-)
Absolute Vanilla - Thanks! The celtic tune will have to be on something other than the piano - the banjo? lol
Julie - Yes, it's so much better to present the pics like this. We bring out the DVDs to show visitors. It's an easier watch than trudging through albums of hundreds of pics. :-) The new name is great, by the way.
Billy - Thanks. I'm getting quite hooked on multimedia. And if my beloved piano gets a look in too, that's a bonus! :-) She's crying out for a good tuning, though. That's another call I must make tomorrow! :-)
That's the best way to visit Ireland, I'd say. I swear, I do all my traveling in books and through your blog. I've been physically unable to travel but my mind drifts all the time. Now I can say I've been to Ireland. Thanks for the ticket.
Jessica - It was a pleasure to be your guide. :-) And that was just a taster!
You should check out the Vivaldi flower film on my blog. It's great and I think you'd really like it.
Jessica - Yeah, I checked that out earlier today and loved it. The ending is powerful ... not what I expected. And it was for Sesame Street? Whew. Kids were so switched on then. :-) That union advert was also a HOOT! lol
Seamus you put on a wonderful show and I really enjoyed your music.
Being from England I am familier with some of your sites, but it's always refreshing to get another look from time to time.
Very nicely done. :)
Eric - Thank you. Your message just slipped in here as I was responding to another! :-) I'm glad you liked the presentation.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. That's such a great film--they didn't have that on Sesame Street when I was a kid.
That Union Ad is just the best. "We got broads in the street directing traffic so your kids don't get hit by some hard-on..."
My husband and others have visited Ireland and told me how beautiful it was. I can see why. Great pics.
They also told me of the musical abilities of the Irish. I can see why. You piano piece is wonderful.
You have so many talents plus such a nice man
Seamus, I am glad I came by to visit (via Bleeding Espresso). Your work is surprising and bright, you have a good eye. I will come back.
Jessica - I'm going to send that Union ad link on to some people who would just LOVE that humour! :-)
Marja - You are too kind! :-)
Beatriz - Hello and welcome! :-) Good to have you stop by. It's a bit of a mixed bag here most of the time. lol :-)
Yes. Do it.
That's beautiful music. I didn't know you composed music as well.
Jessica - There've been roars of laughter among some workmates today ... reminds us of The Sopranos!
Pearl - Thank you. :-) I just wish there was a lot more time to do all the things I love doing! Same goes for everyone, I suppose.
I have come to your blog because I was awarded a Roaring Lion and took it seriously enough to come have a peek at its origination.
Now I find why. You have captured the word talent and portray it in everything you do.
I loved this - the sound of the tinkling piano and the beautiful pictures made me yearn for another time.
Your story on the dresses took my breath away.
What a force you are in this world!
Just come across this:
http://blogtrotta.blogspot.com/- but don't think Shameless Cows would have quite the same ring to it somehow..!
(We had these in London a few years back).
Aims - Hello and welcome. Your kind words are really appreciated. I'm glad you like the stuff here. I look forward to checking out your site too. :-)
Julie - Yes, shameless cows! I like that! lol
That is so special. Beautiful music and pictures to go with it - I was transported for a few minutes there and grateful to you for that experience. You are talented for sure begorrah! (Loved the plaque about nothing happened here - priceless!)
CB - Thanks! :-) And yes, the "nothing happened" thing had me in stitches when I saw it in Ireland.
the music is great! played it pretty loud at work! and gr8 pictures! u shud come up with a complilation! :)
Puresunshine - Loud at work? You'll get me arrested for disruption! lol I'm glad you liked it.
Is there *anything* you can't do?!
You are a true Renaissance man, Seamus. And the music is so lovely and yearning that I can feel your love for Ireland in every note. And with the photos, too, there is such a pull.
Loved this. :)
So beautiful, as always, Seamus. This is in my top 5 favorites, and so is Venice, but nothing else you've done has quite been able to touch the Portugal compilation.
Please do a cd soon, so that I can listen to you play when I'm not at the computer.
Scarlett & Viaggiatore
Sarah - Thank you. Rennaisance man? I'm blushing. :-)
Wanderlust - Thanks for your kind words. Yes, Portugal has attracted close to 5,000 hits on Youtube now, and that can't just be family and friends! I've had a few requests for that music on CD ... maybe one day I might just make up a little compilation as a gift. :-)
Who knows where to download XRumer 5.0 Palladium?
Help, please. All recommend this program to effectively advertise on the Internet, this is the best program!
Eight ships were grounded or sunk by Tip, leaving 44 fishermen dead or unaccounted for. A Chinese freighter broke in half as a result of the typhoon, though its crew of 46 were rescued.[3] The rainfall led to over 600 mudslides throughout the mountainous regions of Japan and flooded more than 22,000 homes; 42 people died throughout the country, with another 71 missing and 283 injured.[3] River embankments broke in 70 places, destroying 27 bridges, while about 105 dikes were destroyed.

Further, it is possible that a number of genetic recombination events around the disease locus (location on a chromosome) could have resulted in the disease being associated with HLA-B54 in the Japanese and HLA-A11 in Koreans. After further study, it was concluded that a DPB susceptibility gene is located near the HLA-B locus at chromosome 6p21.3. Within this area, the search for a genetic cause of the disease has continued.

NAIL COURSESintermarriageAll the buildings, paintings, and basically culture of the time look incredible in pictures, and probably even more amazing when you're actually there. The light post in the center of the street looks magnificent and probably even better when it is hand lit at night time. It's also good to know all these buildings that hold so much history are still up, and the style still seems impeccable despite it being built during the 14th century.
