Lyrics: Toby Keith.
“Not letting the old man in”, could be the secret to living longer. Song lyrics inspired by a question Toby Keith asked of American actor and film director Clint Eastwood (latter then aged 87 back in 2017). He asked how Eastwood managed to keep going at his age? Clint Eastwood replied; “I just don’t let the old man in”.
Don’t let the old man in.
Don’t let the old man in, I wanna leave this alone. Can’t leave it up to him, He’s knocking on my door.
And I knew all of my life, That someday it would end. Get up and go outside, Don’t let the old man in.
Many moons I have lived, My body’s weathered and worn. Ask yourself how would you be, If you didn’t know the day you were born.
Try to love on your wife, And stay close to your friends. Toast each sundown with wine, Don’t let the old man in.
Many moons I have lived. My body’s weathered and worn. Ask yourself how would you be, If you didn’t know the day you were born.
When he rides up on his horse, And you feel that cold bitter wind. Look out your window and smile, Don’t let the old man in.
Look out your window and smile, Don’t let the old man in.
Vocals: British singer Ms Kathryn Crosweller. Lyrics: Colin James Murphy and John Michael Glynn.
I Watch The Sunrise
I watch the sunrise lighting the sky, Casting its shadows near, And on this morning bright though it be, I feel those shadows near me. But you are always close to me, following all my ways. May I be always close to you, following all your ways, Lord. I watch the sunlight shine through the clouds, Warming the earth below, And at the mid-day life seems to say, I feel your brightness near me. For you are always close to me, following all my ways. May I be always close to you, following all your ways, Lord. I watch the sunset fading away, lighting the clouds with sleep, And as the evening closes its eyes, I feel your brightness near me. For you are always close to me, following all my ways. May I be always close to you, following all your ways, Lord. I watch the moonlight guarding the night, waiting ’til morning comes. The air is silent, earth is at rest, only your peace is near me. Yes, you are always close to me, following all my ways. May I be always close to you, following all your ways, Lord. Yes, you are always close to me, following all my ways. May I be always close to you, following all your ways, Lord.
Lyrics: Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell composed sometime before 1967 and inspired by a passage in “Henderson the Rain King”, latter a 1959 novel by Saul Bellow.

Both Sides, Now.
Rows and flows of angels hair, And ice cream castles in the air, And feather canyons everywhere, Looked at clouds that way. But now they only block the sun, They rain and they snow on everyone, So many things I would have done, But clouds got in my way. I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now, From up and down and still somehow, It’s cloud illusions I recall, I really don’t know clouds at all. Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels. The dizzy dancing way that you feel, As every fairy tale comes real, I’ve looked at love that way. But now it’s just another show, And you leave ’em laughing when you go, And if you care, don’t let them know, Don’t give yourself away. I’ve looked at love from both sides now, From give and take and still somehow, It’s love’s illusions that I recall, I really don’t know love. Really don’t know love at all. Tears and fears and feeling proud, To say, “I love you” right out loud. Dreams and schemes and circus crowds, I’ve looked at life that way. Oh, but now old friends they’re acting strange, And they shake their heads and they tell me that I’ve changed. Well something’s lost, but something’s gained, In living every day. I’ve looked at life from both sides now, From win and lose and still somehow, It’s life’s illusions I recall. I really don’t know life at all. It’s life’s illusions that I recall. I really don’t know life, I really don’t know life at all.
The Mid-West Region’s premier live entertainment and cultural venue, University Concert Hall (UCH) celebrates its 30th anniversary on Friday evening next, September 29th, with a performance by one of Ireland’s most prestigious orchestras.
University Concert Hall, Limerick.
Conducted by Joshua Gersen, the RTÉ Concert Orchestra will be accompanied by world-renowned pianist John O’Conor, who was one of the first musicians to perform at UCH.
UCH became the first purpose-built concert hall in Ireland when it was officially opened on the University of Limerick campus in September 1993 by Taoiseach Albert Reynolds T.D. and U.S. Ambassador Jean Kennedy Smith.
The 1,038-seat auditorium has since attracted performances from some of the biggest names in entertainment including Johnny Cash and June Carter, James Taylor, Billy Connolly, Leslie Garrett, Van Morrison, The King’s Singers, Albert Hammond, Jimmy Carr, Sir James Galway, Christy Moore and the late Sinead O’Connor.
Ms Judith Woodworth, Chairperson of the UCH Board, said this Friday’s concert is a milestone moment in the venue’s history.
She continued, “We are immensely proud of our role in adding breadth and depth to the cultural life of the Mid-West, and our ongoing work to reflect and promote the longstanding artistic ethos of the University of Limerick by offering a wide range of cultural events and experiences.”
UCH Director Ms Sinead Hope said, “Attracting some of the world’s leading singer songwriters, standup comedians, pantomimes and classical performers to the Mid-West has had a hugely positive impact on the Region’s arts and entertainment sector, as well as the local economy.”
In a statement published on Thurles Parish Facebook page, it has been announced that the upcoming evening of Music & Song with the popular musical trio ‘The Priests‘, has been sadly cancelled.
“The Priests “
‘The Priests’ Concert was due to take place on Friday evening next, September 29th, in Thurles Cathedral. Their cancellation has been brought about due sadly to the illness of one of the artists taking part.
Refunds are now available through the Parish Office, Thurles, Tel: 0504 22229.
The organising committee apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Just a thought; would it be a nice gesture to donate the cost of your ticket to the existing Cathedral fund instead of seeking a refund.
