Jiff, I did a double-take when I saw the name Sharon Shannon as a topic, then a second one when I saw it was my old post. Sounds like you had a very enjoyable trip, and your pictures are great. I especially enjoyed the shots around my old hometown of Boston. Fenway is timeless. The exterior shot of the "Cheers" bar brought a smile. Its original incarnation was the "Bull & Finch Pub", a favorite watering hole back in the day. I see you also discovered The Black Rose. That became my second home when it first opened in 76. Amazing that is still around, still offers live music, and keeps a steady clientele.

BTW, have you seen or listened to The High Kings? Poco like harmony's and they're really brought life back to the old classics. Caught them at a feis in Dallas last year. Excellent live show.

Patm - We really enjoyed Boston, mostly the history. We should have gone into "Cheers".

Nope, haven't heard of The High Kings. Thanks.

I thought Poconuts might be interested in the music aspects of our trip, but didn't think a new thread was appropriate. Figured a thread with Dublin in the title was sort of related.
