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.
