I finally moved the Klipsch 5.1 speakers into this room where my laptop is, and hooked them up (with an adapter that takes their poor 2-speaker output and pumps it through the Klipsch speakers), and holy cow, Batman, the walls are vibrating. Prior to hooking up my speakers, the screw on the left side of my glasses1 needed tightening maybe once every few months. Interestingly, it's been loose more often lately... 1 My apologies if I just messed up your imaginary version of me. askandanswer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windseeker Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) This is one of my favorites because it's an Appalachian song that is done by a traditional Irish group. The rendition is especially touching because Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh's husband Frankie Kennedy who together founded Altan passed away from cancer. He was an amazing flute player. Fare thee well My own true love Farewell for a while I'm going away But I'll be back Though I go 10,000 miles 10,000 miles My own true love 10,000 miles or more The rocks may melt And the seas may burn If I should not return Oh don't you see That lonesome dove Sitting on an ivy tree She's weeping for Her own true love As I shall weep for mine Oh come ye back My own true love And stay a while with me If I had a friend All on this earth You've been a friend to me Edited January 20, 2017 by Windseeker zil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to make light of someone dying from cancer, but I think he's lucky not to have choked to death trying to pronounce her name... PS: Beautiful song.
