You have a genuine love and talent for the spoken (and written) word, and you write much like another talented Irishman-Frank McCourt (Angela' Ashes and Tis). I am certain you will have a long and successful career in music, but I hope you do a little writing someday. I may see you on Phil's Tranquility Cruise. All best wishes to you and Domi as you start your life together.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18318126799630296778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551767278429061824.post-29494314593873667402012-07-20T10:44:51.075-07:002012-07-20T10:44:51.075-07:00Loved the blog.

Hit on so many of the things that make travelling fun and horrible.<br />Your comments about getting performance dates here in the States caught my eye. I met you at BB Kings during your gig last November. (The 6'1" black lady with the shaved head ) Loved the Stevie Wonder anecdote.<br />I am friendly with a lot of musicians and this comes up a lot.

I really feel for you when you get stuck next to a child I know you love children but somethimes you have to wonder what parents are thinking letting their kids act up on a plane or anywhere for that matter. I am happy to hear that your Grandmother is doing well, my thoughts and prayers continue for her. Your mom sounds fantastic and makes me realize how much I miss mine. I look forward to hearing about the wedding plans taking place, and of course your continuing success here in the States. I would love to see a PBS special on your, it would be a fantastic showcase of your talent your wit and of course your singing,not to mention your funny facial expressions. I agree with one fo the other post you should write a book, your thoughtful, insightful on many different things and very funny, I could go on and on but time comes to go to work. Sod take care have a wonderful time doing what your doing, hug Dom a lot and hug your Mom a lot also.<br /><br />Peace<br />JeannieJeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08676625139010595221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551767278429061824.post-61942881249632087392012-07-18T21:50:05.348-07:002012-07-18T21:50:05.348-07:00I really enjoyed your blog.

It was wonderful, Choc.icecream sundays and two movies! Too bad it is so expensive to upgrade. Got upgraded again several years ago so it can happen twice, keep fingers crossed! I know what you mean about unruley kids on planes. It amazes me today with all the entertainment one can bring on a plane for kids to do. But sometimes kids just don't behave regardless but it helps to see parents at least trying and a simple apology goes a long way.I'm a pediatric nurse and one thing you might do that might help is carry gum with you. Kids often have trouble with their eustation tubes when flying causing pain, which can lead to unruley behavior. If you have some gume ask the parents if it would be OK to give them a piece. It might help. Good luck with your goal to get show on PBS. I would love to see you there.Margiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323321840507111181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551767278429061824.post-76392908756775226112012-07-18T21:31:26.887-07:002012-07-18T21:31:26.887-07:00Delightful blog, as always.

I know it's late notice, and I know it involves $$$$... but could you film your concert in Dublin next month? And use that footage for PBS? And as long as I'm here, CDBaby has some great ideas for artists who need a little help with funding - which most people probably do. Good Luck Paul!! I can't wait to work the phones for your PBS special.

Really wish you and Dom all the happiness in the world. I married my best friend, and we were very happy together until he passed on. There has to be a way around you having to go the PBS route...I'll have to do some research on the idea. Can't wait until your show makes a stop in South Florida...'til then, much luck, and much love!blanketprincesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02779872758858059312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551767278429061824.post-89575613683839003872012-07-18T13:00:49.047-07:002012-07-18T13:00:49.047-07:00Hi Paul,

My fingers are crossed for your next flight. My next flight will be to Dublin! I still can't believe it finally will happen. So looking forward to hear you sing in the National Concert Hall. Please make sure you get your flight to Dublin!!! ;-) <br /><br />It's so wonderful and touching to read about your love for Dom. I wish you two all the best and a long and happy life together. Did I get it right that she wont be with you at your concert in August? That would be sad cause I would love to meet her one day. <br /><br />See you soon!

Traveling in a wheelchair is just awful--why they even bother putting the handicapped accessible logo on the plane bathroom is beyond me. Even on my crutches I can barely maneuver. Oh well, maybe someday I can afford first class and manage it that way. I'm glad you had a good time with your family and friends, and hope that you can pull together a PBS special. <br /><br />LauraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551767278429061824.post-83898421683966075622012-07-18T07:35:24.950-07:002012-07-18T07:35:24.950-07:00Hi Paul, what a great story you have.

Ever since a young girl, I've always dream of going to Ireland. I can't explain it, I just want to go to Ireland. I love your music, your culture, and the people.

You have an upcomming concert on August the 9th(wish I could be there my brithday is the 7th!) what about getting a film crew to film the concert and use that for your PBS special? it would cut down on costs I would think anyway as opposed to starting from the ground up.

It was last year and I was flying from Victoria BC ( Canada) to Berlin for a field school and so far the trip had not been going well. I am a fairly tall individual my self ( 5’11 and proud) with long legs to boot, and I had spent the 9 hour flight from Vancouver to London stuck in a middle seat in Coach. Needless to say by the time we landed my legs were in a great deal of pain - seeing as the people beside me had fallen asleep and I did not wish to wake them up so I could go for my inflight stroll/stretch.<br />I caught my connecting flight to Berlin ( which did not go much better, although this time I did have an aisle seat- thank heavens) I had been hit in the head by the man in the seat in front of me as he leaned back. I leaned back and tried to get a little shut eye ( I’d ad no sleep on the flight to London) but I quickly awake to a small child trying to steal my boot. No joke. A four year old little boy sat at my feet with my boot in his hand, he smiled at me before running off with my boot. I chased him down and spoke to his parents who gave me nothing more than a “ kids will be kids" shrug.<br />I remember back in the day when I was a kid and I had to fly, either because we were moving or visiting my dad at the military hospital in DC, I was always given a comic book and a colouring book to keep myself entertained....or if I got really bored I would harass my mom into playing car with me.....but I never stole someone else’s boot!<br /><br />Anyways, that’s my story. I’m glad you had a god trip home and I wish all the best to you and to Dom with your upcoming nuptials.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Erin O'BrienAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551767278429061824.post-56304384017984780632012-07-17T21:51:37.661-07:002012-07-17T21:51:37.661-07:00thank you for your delightful story. I too travel ...thank you for your delightful story. I too travel alone and enjoy peace and quite. In 2003 my family took a vacation to Germany. On the flight over, a mom had two small children with her. As we waiting to board,we all thought, hope we aren't next to her. Well,of course she was just behind my dear mom. so when the baby cried and cried my mom simply stood up and asked if their was anything she could do. She helped this mom all during the flight and even took the other child by hand as we walked off in Frankfort. It showed me my dear moms compassion and what a little help from a stranger can accomplish. My mom is gone now,but I will never forget this and will never forget the love and nights she helped me with my babies too. So as I ramble, I can sympathize with your flight situations. Oh and my husband was flying from New York to Tokyo and (that's right) bumped right into FIRST CLASS! being that he is 6'3",this was a very great bump! so,happy flying, sometimes the skies are clear and sometimes they may be a little rocky but the goal is the gate and those who wait at the end of the line! sincerely, Luanne from ChicagoLuannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01717798886368105418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551767278429061824.post-31224995773161441322012-07-17T21:48:39.230-07:002012-07-17T21:48:39.230-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Luannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01717798886368105418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551767278429061824.post-33119820047280224132012-07-17T21:47:12.368-07:002012-07-17T21:47:12.368-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Luannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01717798886368105418noreply@blogger.com
