Though this was posted up 6 years ago. I felt to comment on it. Anyhow I tell people if it was not for the Irish and the Jews the world would not have song and dance. Well to sum this up Mick Maloney speaking on the subject matter. Shows am correct! I have Irish DNA and Ashkenazi DNA in the mix along with Welsh,Scottish,Swede Norwegian,Norman,and Finnish.
You want mediocre pre-processed, formulaic, fast food equivalent music.. turn on your tv or radio. You want a beautiful work of art that invokes feelings you don't have words for.. turn to the guy on the street corner with a beat up guitar.
Hearing my hero speak so close to his death,both breaks my heart and strengthens my spirit. If we all possessed an ounce of the compassion he had for humankind,this world would be a place of joy.
He's actually been playing a different guitar mostly that I've been trying to identify & hear the story, hence finding this video. All I know is its not a Takamine & it has a pickguard. Its had some serious play as well, with a hole worn in it.
@@dabackdaboot9504 went to one of his shows recently, he said that someone dropped the guitar while moving in and cracked the top in two. I’m not sure which guitar he’s using now, could be the one that he was given by Takamine though.
I'm an Irish-American learning Gaeilge, and the first sentence I understood without subtitles was humorous. It was a video making fun of English names the way they make fun of Irish names and saying them with Irish pronunciations. I realized the subtitles completely different from what was actually being said. The subtitles said "Why do English names look like that?" What was actually said was "Cad é an scéal le hainmneacha i mBéarla?" and it came across as SO much funnier and more mocking, especially with the tone of voice used. GRMA for the video!
the english and british just tried to change and oppress everyone under their umbrella any way they could, it is so sad our history in this country and with modern perpetuation of racism even tho i am of irish and scottish descent i am looked at as an oppressor because i have white skin. when in reality we were in the trenches with "free'd" slaves all of them pushed into slums and poverty treated like nothing treated like laborers. we found a way and we made it out. we were not extinguished as they would have liked
The Cromwellian Irish slaves were a different phenomenon from the indentured Irish servants. The Cromwellian captives were sold as slaves by the mayor of Galway for example, Peter Stubbers, following the overthrow of the Catholic Tribes of Galway. He and other administrators of the new dispensation targeted Catholic families for removal to Connacht or worse, especially to work on sugar plantations, and often as sex workers in the Caribbean. The indentured servants, on the other hand, were contractual labourers who worked in houses in Boston and places like that, customarily in the 18th century. Conditions of indentured servants varied according to the contract. The Cromwellian slaves suffered deprivations of the most inhumane treatment; and were not freed until the risorgimentos in Jamaica and places like that united the red legs and the Black slaves, often in blood and certainly in war against the plantation owners. The indentured servants enjoy a different history to this. Later in the interview Mr.Titley is clear about the phenomenon of Irish enslavement.
I came here because of the book and have discovered an amazing lenguage. It is fascinanting to me listening to him and see how we create such an amazing comunication tool. I wish I could read the book in its original lenguaje!
Just the kind of thing that put me off Irish in the first place. Leave it to academics to put on an event about humour and there not be a single thing a regular person would find funny. How do you say dry shite in Irish?
@@aaronuaconaill5688 You know, you're right. Five years and 4 and a half thousand views later the positive votes are overwhelming. It must be something wrong with my sense of humour.
they got it wrong. there is NO salvation outside Jesus Christ, for catholic and for jew and for everyone else. There is salvation in Jesus Christ only. It is not in any church, least of all in the Roman Catholic church. They preach a false gospel of works. Salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ, by His grace he accomplished for us on the cross. People cannot send anyone to hell, but God can and will. The Bible is clear about that: all are damned without Christ. The truth is sometimes ugly. But God loves all people, Jews and Catholics alike. He gave His Son for everyone.

Wonderful presentation! We came home with the CD, and are so pleased to see that some familiar folkies that we've come to admire over the years accompanies Mick Maloney on this CD--John Roberts, John Doyle, Susan McKeown.
Léiriú deas tugtha ar phearsantacht agus ar shaol Dhubhghlás Dé hÍde. Léacht suimiúil ar bhain mé an-taitneamh as, go raibh míle maith agaibh. A very interesting lecture, in my opinion.
Thank you Glucksman Ireland House NYU for streaming this delightful conversation with Alice McDermott. The fascinating insights the author shares regarding the inspiration for her story and diverse characters enrich the novel's narrative.
