Never Forget

I am the first artist-in-residence at the Doucet-Hennessy house in Bathurst, New Brunswick. My new exhibit opens to the public on Wednesday, July 3

By the way, I strongly identify as Irish. Yes, technically I am Canadian and one might suppose that today I would be celebrating Canada Day. However, for reasons I’ll not go into at present, I prefer to celebrate the Heritage passed down to by my ancestors, the Hennessys and O’Tooles among others.

The Don’t Forget You’re Irish art exhibit opens to the public July 3. Drop by Tuesday to Saturday for a cup of tea and a chat at the historic Doucet-Hennessy House in Bathurst, New Brunswick. If you play Celtic or Acadian music or any sort of traditional folk music, we hope to have informal music sessions on Saturdays from 2-4. Bring along your acoustic instrument and join us. Music workshops are in the planning for September.

This exhibit is open to the public from July 3 – 28 in Bathurst, New Brunswick. More about the exhibit in this press release: https://surmonbabillard.com/art-exhibit-dont-forget-youre-irish-doucet-hennessy-house/”>Irish Canadian family settled on Bay of Chaleur in Canada.

Guys … I’d love to contribute but I have no credit card …
What is a person without a credit card to do?
If a credit card world discredits those without
What the
Do they become non-persons in this world
Is that the sort of reality we want?

Where is the bloody producer
Off to church you say
For it’s Sunday Bloody Sunday
Well call him back and tell him
That he’ll receive no pay
Unless of course he relents
And agrees to work today

Besides what else is a church
But a place to flirt and tarry
Yes you are right so very right
It wasn’t always so
But now it is I’m sorry

It started out with Sunday best
Then those with more were doubly blest
Now what are we all forced to see
But piercings body art of violence
And lots and lots of breast

But dare not stare
In church or fair
Nor schoolhall
Nor anywhere
Lest you be accused
Of something dire
If you try to resurrect
Or re-light any fires
When oil’s all gone
And woodlot’s bare
As last resort
Then you might dare
Not today nor any day soon
Not unless you can pay
Don’t try to suggest
A more suitable hire
Just not worth it, no not today
That person of talent
Has moved away
As they so often do
His money gone
Her courage gone
Gone since ’72
