Musik har alltid varit en stor del av mitt liv. Musik sker i nuet. Spelar du in det du gör kan du lyssna på det förflutna. Skriver du ner musiken kan du ana musiken i framtiden. Här kan du lyssna på min inspelade musik.
Phil the Fluter
Have you heard of Phil the Fluter, of the town of Ballymuck?
The times were going hard with him, in fact the man was broke
so he just sent out a notice to his neighbours, one and all
as to how he'd like their company that evening at a ball
And when writing out, he was careful to suggest to them
that if they found a hat of his, convenient to the door
the more they put in, whenever he requested them
the better would the music be, for battering the floor
With the toot of the flute and the twiddle of the fiddle - o
Hopping in the middle, like a herring on the griddle - o
Up, down, hands around, crossing to the wall
Oh, hadn't we the gaiety at Phil the fluters ball
There was Mr Dennis Dogherty who kep' the running dog
there was little crooked Paddy from the Tiraloughett bog;
there was boys from every barony and girls from every 'art
and the beautiful miss Bradys, in a private ass and cart
And along with them came bouncing Mrs Cafferty
Little Micky Mulligan was also to the fore
Rose, Suzanne and Margaret O'Rafferty,
the flower of Ardmagullion and the pride of Pethravore
With the toot ...
First little Micky Mulligan got up to show them how
and then the widda' Cafferty steps out and makes her bow
I could dance you of your legs says she, as sure as you are born
if you'll only make the piper play "the hare was in the corn"
so Phil plays up to the best of his ablity
the lady and the gentleman began to do their share
Faith, then Mick, it's you that has agility
begorra Mrs Cafferty you're leeping like a hare
With the toot ...
Then Phil the fluter tipped a wink to little crooked Pat
I think it's nearly time, said he, for passing round the hat
so Paddy passed the caubeen round and looking mighty cute
Sez: Ye've got to pay the piper when he toothers on the flute
Then all joined in with the greatest joviality
covering the buckle and the shuffle and the cut
Jigs were danced of the very finest quality
But the Widda' beat the company at "handeling the fut"
With the toot ...
