Happy st. patty’s day folks.. the day that everyone is irish..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One cool thing today was freind Chris’s Leprechaun.. to be burned tonight. Chris makes these things out of wood scrap , bark and pyrotechnics (that’s where I help).. Chris made this guy all by himself using hemlock boughs to bring out the ‘wearin o’ the green’ .. He’s made of old fencing and lath and is stuffed full of birch bark and pyrodex..<\/p>\n

Here’s the drawing he used as inspiration.. pretty amazing.. no ?
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

After seeing chris, Homer came ofver and we woked on our latest BIG project.. we made great progress today.. more on that as it evolves..
\nWe couldn’t be at the burn tonight because we’d gotten tickets to see freind Jack (on the left)\u00a0 and Zev (on the right) dancing in an Urban Dance Workshop at Higher Ground.\u00a0 First we had dinner at Victor and Patti’s .. then we went down to the venue. The production\u00a0 was a Hip Hop rendition of the musical Chicago.. and it was absolutely amazing ! We saw several kids we knew in there. .. Very. very cool<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I was looking at my post for St Paddy’s last year to find a certain picture of Sam wearing his Flogging Molly shirt.. the sign of the irish that was\/is\u00a0 in him.. When I found the post, I realized that last year, i’d looked back to my post in 2008 to find this one picture.. I liked what I’d put there then .. so.. with permission.. I’ll replay it again ..<\/p>\n

Here’s what I wrote:<\/p>\n

I went back to my post on this day in 2008 to fund this picture of Sam… He was wearing his Flogging Molly shirt.. .. I think it’s the last shirt I saw him wearing.. it’s a great Irish Punk\/Folk band that he loved.. Here are two pictures that Sam R took one day..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And here\u2019s a cool version that Sam R made of the same photo<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n

What a beautiful, beautiful kid<\/p>\n

That band pays a wonderful song..called ‘If I ever leave this world Alive’<\/p>\n

Max played a beautiful version of it on the night of Sam\u2019s Memorial at Memorial Auditorium..<\/p>\n<\/div>\n


If I ever leave this world alive
\nby Flogging Molly
\n<\/span>
\nIf I ever leave this world alive
\nI\u2019ll thank for all the things you did in my life
\nIf I ever leave this world alive
\nI\u2019ll come back down and sit beside your
\nfeet tonight
\nWherever I am you\u2019ll always be
\nMore than just a memory
\nIf I ever leave this world alive<\/p>\n

If I ever leave this world alive
\nI\u2019ll take on all the sadness
\nThat I left behind
\nIf I ever leave this world alive
\nThe madness that you feel will soon subside
\nSo in a word don\u2019t shed a tear
\nI\u2019ll be here when it all gets weird
\nIf I ever leave this world alive<\/p>\n

So when in doubt just call my name
\nJust before you go insane
\nIf I ever leave this world
\nHey I may never leave this world
\nBut if I ever leave this world alive<\/p>\n

She says I\u2019m okay; I\u2019m alright,
\nThough you have gone from my life
\nYou said that it would,
\nNow everything should be all right<\/p>\n

She says I\u2019m okay; I\u2019m alright,
\nThough you have gone from my life
\nYou said that it would,
\nNow everything should be all right
\nYeah should be alright<\/p>\n

Here’s a recording of it I found on youtube<\/p>\n
