From My Hard Drive To Yours - vol. deich

Here's the scene: It's a cool, damp evening on the south coast of the Dingle Peninsula. You're sitting on the bench against the stone wall, at the well-worn wooden table just to the right of the fireplace, nestled comfortably into a dimly-lit corner inside An Droichead Beag (The Small Bridge) Pub.

A creamy pint of Guinness is keeping your Black Bush company on the table as you take in the sights, sounds, and smells. The wood in the fireplace emits a spirited crackle as the musicians seated on the opposite side of the hearth talk quietly amongst themselves.

You take a sip of whiskey and close your eyes at the pipes' first drone.

Oh, and if anyone has a large sum of cash burning a hole in his or her pocket that they could, um, "lend" me, it seems the Small Bridge is for sale.
