Wow, happy 70th. That's a big number I hope to see. Great production adding in the Irish flavor! Always a joy to hear your original tunes! Happy Holiday season to you ~

There's a lot of wisdom to be found in a pub....if only we could remember it all.

@@MrSjpsjp Indeed...

Good one Berni. I liked the extra touches. The bit of percussion was like a bodrum drum. Makes me remember that “ my father he was orange but me mother she was green” song.

[@berniarmstrong]

That was inversely true with my Mum and Dad. She was from a staunch protestant family and my Dad from a very Catholic one.

Wise words Berni, as per. I do like History mind. It would be nice to think we’d learn from it mind. I live in hope, that’s all we can do sometimes.

[@berniarmstrong]

Yes... Those who don't learn from it are condemned to repeat it... As someone once said.

Good to see you Berni, this temporary platform can be a little confusing at times. It’s a fine song in the great folk tradition. Just one thing, the Seven Up kids haven’t reached 70 yet, that’s why I stopped at age 63 on the introductory post. It’s going on the playlist though, I’m not into splitting hairs :-)

[@berniarmstrong]

Thanks. Yes Google Groups have left me thinking I must be missing out on something 😊. Ah... I didn't realise the Seven Up connection. I thought that was an old Snow White joke.

A lesson I'll keep in mind, Berni!

[@berniarmstrong]

I try to... But don't always succeed.

[@kolibriuker1297]

Great lyrics and songwriting!

can't win them but we can learn for them

[@berniarmstrong]

In theory.... 😉

@berniarmstrong indeed - a forlorn hope - but it is always possible
