Filed under: Lampsha Spins
Top o’ the mornin and begosh and begora, it’s Saint Patty’s Day. Yes it tis. And I don’t have a proper post prepared, no I don’t. Partly because we have been iced under here in the Northeast and my stuffy head took that as a sign to sleep – early and long.
I could go on and feature an Irish group and give you all sorts of information about them, but I won’t do that either. Because, had I mentioned I slept a little too long? This post won’t be up until noon at that rate. Instead, I’ll offer a pairing that is a perfect blend – Ziggy Marley and The Chieftans. This further advances Scissors’ claim that there are many similarities of inhabitants or ancestors from these two islands, but I digress. They are indeed a perfect blend.
We will return to our regularly scheduled Spin next week and perhaps put a little effort into it. For now, enjoy your day, have a little corned beef, do a jig to a reel or whatever it is you might be doing. And whatever that is, have a great weekend!

Comment by BoBo Saturday, 17 March 2007 @ 10:07amThat was great! Really, I would have never thought Ziggy and Irish music would mesh at all. 🙂 I hope you guys have a great weekend and thaw out well!
Comment by cj Saturday, 17 March 2007 @ 10:36amThanks Bobo and cj – glad you liked. They do make great sounds together. cj: we must seem like wimps to you Midwesterners and the truth is – we are.
Have a great weekend.
Comment by LAMPSHA Saturday, 17 March 2007 @ 12:31pmI agree with the above. That’s my favorite Bob Marley song and the Chieftans are great, and its cool that Ziggy sounds so much like his father. I wish you an Irish 7-course supper and may the six-pack be kosher.

LOVE IT! and you’re so correct — it’s a perfect artistic blend, a perfect song, and, on top ‘o all that, a perfectly beautiful message. *claps*
Comment by snuppy Saturday, 17 March 2007 @ 3:27pmI know this doesn’t make me unusual or anything, but I used to listen to the original version of this song on an 8-track, stoned out of my sorry little mind. I thought you should know that about me.
