Always learning. Born, bred and still living on the most easterly point of Northern Ireland - the Ards Peninsula - 18 miles across the sea from Scotland. I do lots of things- design, music, talks, trying to be a husband and father.

'Must I be carried to the skies
On flowery beds of ease,
While others fought to win their prize,
And sailed through bloody seas?'
- Isaac Watts, 1721
Recorded by The Carter Family as 'On the Sea of Galilee':

Very cool!
...I once used to work not too far from the Carter Fold - if you ever make it this side of the Atlantic (have you yet?) - that stretch all the way down from Abingdon VA though to Asheville NC I can't recommend highly enough.
I have a feeling it might ring a few chords in ya. :)
Thanks, some of my earliest memories are of my grandfather singing Carter Family songs to me.
