I was seven years of age the first time

I was seven years of age the first time

I went to Finbar Murphy Murphys house

In my mothers home place

In County Clare

Large glass bulbs of all colours

Used  to hold fish nets at sea

Hung from the ceiling

 

Finbar took down a flute

And played a Clare Reel

The Clare sound sent amazing rythems through my mind

My shoes move to dance

It was a Clare house and a Clare tune

A magical moment

In the heart of my being

That is still there.
