Little Chapel on the River

In honor of Valentine's Day, here's a love song by Hank Beukema. It was inspired by a romance stoked at Guinan's. I've posted in the past about Hank , and published links to his work. Here's to keeping close the people and places we love: THE GUINAN'S WALTZ It's been quite awhile, my darlin Since we first took those long river walks Past the shops down in Garrison When I first heard the ways your eyes talked I think it was the start of the romance When you put your mouth close to my ear You whispered Forever, it's only forever I've waited for you to appear Are they still serving beers down at Guinan's? Do the ladies still dance Irish nite? Do you think we can waltz by the fire Do you mind if I turn down the lights? La da da, da da da, la da da dee La da da, da da da, la da da doo La da da, da da da, la da da day La da da, da da da, la doo.... We push and we strain, we run thru the rain Trying to find the right one There's no way to name it, n...

New York Times reporter, Dot Earth blogger and Garrison-ite Andy Revkin wrote this song called "Between the River and the Rails" about Guinan's. Here's an mp3 recording of him performing it live at a recent Irish Night. Please be patient as it loads. You can read the lyrics at this other post . Thanks to Bryan Merdler who uploaded the song.

From time to time, until I run out of songs, I'll post a link here to a new song recorded live from one of Guinan's Irish Night sessions. The music is courtesy of the talented artists of course and also Bryan Merdler who spent hours uploading the songs online. The first pick is my personal favorite: The Wild Rover led by Jack McAndrew . Anyone wanting a CD with copies of the music, can email Bryan directly at lgrthnmst(at)gmail.com Note: Logo above courtesy of Vic Schwarz.
