My neighbors from when I lived in Tullaghan, Ireland


These guys were always in the road when running late for a gig!








I'm sure these two horses miss me because I was always giving them sugar cubes!

This was the neighborhood dog, Captain. Everyone thought I was crazy because I would let him come inside my home on cold and rainy nights.

Here are some of my favorite images from the North West of Ireland...mostly Bundoran, Tullaghan, Mullaghmore and Sligo.








Life In Ireland...St. Patrick's Day Special







Here I am in 2003 relaxing by the stream just beside my home. Quite often men would be out here catching fish as you could always see the fish jumping in the stream. This is one of the local pubs where musicians would gather to play music every Monday night. Here is the famous Benbulben Mountain in Bundoran, Donegal. This is Classiebawn Castle on the Mullaghmore in Sligo. This estate was the residence of the Mountbatten family when they holidayed in Ireland. Lord Mountbatten died not far from here almost 30 years ago. My former music partner used to tell me the stories of how Lord Mountbatten was just like a local when in Ireland. He remembered the day he heard the sounds of the boat exploding when Mountbatten was murdered. This is actually the county I lived in...Leitrim. I lived in a little village called Tullaghan which is just 3 km of coastline located between Sligo and Donegal.

Below is a map to show you where I lived.

One of the things I used to love to do while living there was visit this little cave on the beach when the tide was out. I would spend hours searching for sea glass. It was so relaxing. Now I have more sea glass than I'll ever know what to do with!
