a cara.....in the pages of castlebar history...there can never have been a more memorable event than the waites....they were as much part of pre christmas in castlebar ...as holly....festive decorations....and cutting down the old christmas tree....they disturbed the nights sleep in the most delightful of ways....and made each family a player in the nightly ...early morning...performance.... dessie dunne...paddy and daisy clarke....were the kernel of the main troupe.....and in mid december their ....after midnight....calling began.....they played an accordion or button key....and moved through the town....calling out the family names....and bidding the family good tidings of the morning.....i remember those times very well....and although we are now approaching easter....the very posting invoked fond ...warm memories.....thank you pat...for your kind words....but rather than a master ...i am an old raconteur....with a storehouse of memories from our days in castlebar.....and as i reflect i see very clearly the green gates that were the port of entry to your home....at paddy kings.....i hope you and yours are in good health....in new york.....as i am on the 49th.parralel...in toronto......so pat .......i will continue to write....of times...once upon a good time.... in our town....even though i know the ethos...and place has changed ....each time i pull a nostalgic gem out...it opens a river of other memorable events....slain....agus.....
