Anne,

Thanks for coming out to the Celtic Fest! And thanks for your comments about my Grandmother O’Halloran story. I’m always a little embarrassed when someone shows up for a performance and they’ve already heard what I’m going to tell, but I need to remember how much I love hearing my favorite stories and songs over and over again.

Thanks, Larry! Your students are very lucky to have you. There are so many great untold stories!

Tim,

Thanks for your comment. Yes! There are so many stories we never hear!

I didn’t include the storytellers telling because taking only a few seconds from their stories didn’t make a lot of sense when edited together. You’ll just have to imagine how wonderful everyone was – and they were!

Aw, Sue, you showed us the storytellers but not the storytelling

What a great confluence of cultures celebrating– and quite appropriate for those of us of both Mexican and Irish ancestry (it’s a small intersection, I’ll admit). I never knew about the San Patricios… a fascinating bit of history!

Sue, I absolutely love your grandmother’s story that you told at the Celtic Fest yesterday. It is so moving! I could listen to it a hundred times and would love it more each and every time. Thank you!

Thanks, Susan,

I use the St. Patrick’s Brigade to illustrate some points in both my Missouri Geography and my World Political Geography courses. David Rovics has a great song on the brigade. I had him come to my class a few years ago (when he was in town) to perform it and several other social justice pieces. Thanks again, nicely done. Larry
