Dublin 1952


The Kerry Sister and Brendan caught the Johnny Cash biopic 'Walk The Line' while they were in Thailand. She said they just wandered in not knowing what to expect. Said the minute she heard the music it brought her right back to that magical night in Dingle when they saw Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash playing live at .... was it the Hillgrove Hotel?

Our Ganching has said that Joaquin Phoenix, playing Johnny Cash, had a look of our da. I think she's right - only our da was far better looking. What do youse think?

If that's your Da in the picture, he's a right handsome dude, and I'd give my eye teeth (if I had any) for his shoes!

Thanks for the compliment about my handsome dad. The story is that those clothes, his honeymoon clothes, were the first new shop-bought duds he ever had!

Your Dad beats Joaquin and Johnny any day. Who is that "honey" he is with? To be honest, I am so homesick for Dublin, I was looking at the background of the photo looks like its taken outside the GPO in O'Connell Street......ah!!
