De Fartaí Séaids of Grín - Forty Shades of Green
Johnny Cash was so taken in by the Emerald Isle in 1961 that he penned a whole album in celebration of Ireland. The most enduring of Cash's Irish songs is "Forty Shades of Green", including the confession that "most of all I miss a girl in Tipperary town, and most of all I miss her lips as soft as eiderdown". Mention of Dingle, Donaghadee, the Shannon, Skibbereen, Cork and Larne, make this a very all-Irish song, and a celebration of the good old times when "the farmers drain the bogs and spade the turf".

Green beer is strictly an American invention.
I do like Tootsie Rolls but can easily live without the rest. Hershey bars get bashed a lot for those who have tasted them.
Loved this, and how I love the music. Speak of how about one of these vids
Loved the overhead video of Irish scenery. I saw Riverdance after Flatley had quit. It was totally awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! Flatley quit because he wanted full control over the whole show and was turned down. Arrogant.

No kidding, well, one thing I can't imagine is enjoying a warm beer, or room temp I guess

It's a myth that the Irish or British drink warm beer. Certain dark beers and ales are drunk at a cool temp, lagers are icy cold.

That figures, most of what I've seen has been in movies or on TV. I would sure love to visit there one day. It would either be London or Ireland first, but I would want to see Scotland, Norway, Sweden, all those countries.

You would actually. Coach trips off season are likely to be reasonable. May or Sept is a good time.

Thanks AM,
I was talking to a gal-friend about saving up, no matter how long it took both of us (about the same income level) and go on a tour).
