anyways, my dream has always been to visit Ireland. yess, Ireland! see? you have to agree that it's beautiful...
Ahh...Ireland...i always joked that i'd want to move there after college. lol maybe i was JUST kidding. ;)
the band The High Kings is my favorite Irish band on the entire face of the earth!
on July 22, 2011, at 6:20(ish)at the Cleveland Irish Cultural Festival, i had the priviledge of meeting them. they sang my fave Irish song to me: "The Fields of Anthenry" and Darren Holden gave me a custom made guitar pick that says The HK's on it. if that wasn't enough, we went back last year and almost exactly one year from the day we met, their last show at around 9:45, i got up and sang "Fields" with them...all by myself. it was pretty nerve-wracking but it was awesome too. there, i said my "not-so-well-kept-secret." that's probably because i'm on youtube. lol. if you want to see me sing, here it is!
meeting the High Kings was a dream come true in itself not to mention singing with them! wow...
so that is one of my favorite days of 2012. i'd love to hear what your fave days were!
my other fave Irish bands are the New Barleycorn, and Mary's Lane. i've seen both of them at our local Irish pub. well, actually that's a false statement 'cuz i've seen the Barleycorn there and Mary's Ln. at our Candlelight walk in November. usually the Irish pub, Sully's, is PACKED when we see the Barleycorn. Mary's Lane is sorta "rock-ish" if you know what i mean...the Barleycorn is AHHH-MAZING!!! i've know them since i was, like, 7 so they are really good friends of my family.
