Down by the Sally Gardens

“Down by the Sally Gardens ” is one of my favorite traditional Irish songs . I’ve always wanted to learn to play the Irish Whistle and now, thanks to my on-line tutor, Antonio Putzu, frontman of the “Irish Quartet”, the dream has come true.

My nanny was an Irishmaker?

My mother often told me that my first nanny was Irish. Considering how much I love Eire, I wonder if she spilled a little whiskey or Guinness in my baby’s bottle, when I was a child. In the picture you can see the last Guinness I drank far from Eire.
