Did you go to the Galway City Museum? My branch of the O’Toole clan is from Galway.

No - got in yesterday afternoon around dinner time. It’s bonkers here - not a good time for a family vacation. But, too late. We’re staying right next to the main pedestrian street and it’s full of vaping/drinking college kids. We did a tour of Kylemore Abbey today and it was great. Got back, rested, and went out for dinner. Tomorrow we move to Glenlo Abbey for a St Patrick’s Day party hosted by our friends who basically rented out the whole place. Doing falconry in the afternoon. We have two days there and then back to Dublin for a few days then back home. So far, love the people and vibe. Beautiful country.

Then Ann pressed her sister, Nancy, who was a guitarist and could write music, to join the band, and the rest was history. To celebrate, a song that Nancy co-wrote, and where her guitar playing is a feature:
