Sam’s Saturday 9: Molly Malone
On Saturdays I take a break from the heavy stuff and have some fun…
Unfamiliar with this week's song? Hear it here.
1) Are you of Irish descent?
Nope.
2) Legend has it that the heroine of this week's Irish ballad was a real lass. 17th century birth and burial records confirm that a woman with that name lived in Dublin. Can you think of another song about a real historic figure?
Nope.
3) Molly sold fish from a cart that she wheeled through the streets. What's the last seafood you ate?
Clam cakes
4) The lyrics tell us that, after her death, her ghost continues to wander the streets of Dublin with her wheel barrow. Do you believe in ghosts?
Nope.
Hey this week’s Sat9 is too easy.
5) This week's featured band, The Dubliners, are obviously from Dublin. They were introduced to American audiences on The Ed Sullivan Show. Today, Stephen Colbert tapes his show in The Ed Sullivan Theater. Who hosted the last talk show you watched?
Johnny Carson.
Hey don’t laugh; reruns are on the Antenna TV cable channel every night.
6) Corned beef and cabbage is a traditional St. Patrick's Day dish. Is it a favorite of yours?
I like corned beef on a Ruben.
7) According to Irish legend, leprechauns earned the gold in the pot they guard by repairing shoes. Crazy Sam can't remember the last time she got a pair of shoes repaired. When the heels wear away, she discards the shoes and buys new ones. What about you? Do you get your shoes fixed (either by leprechauns or just by ordinary repairmen)?
I got a pair of ankle boots repaired by a lovely old couple from the “old world.”
8) Do you look good in green, the signature color of St. Patrick's Day?
I don’t know, I don’t have anything in green.
9) Random question: Did you more recently sneeze or cough?
Right now I’m coughing more because of a nasal drip. I think the spring allergies season is starting.
Thanks so much for joining us again at Saturday: 9. As always, feel free to come back, see who has participated and comment on their posts. In fact sometimes, if you want to read & comment on everyone's responses, you might want to check back again tomorrow. But it is not a rule. We haven’t any rules here. Join us on next Saturday for another version of Saturday: 9, "Just A Silly Meme on a Saturday!" Enjoy your weekend!

I love watching Johnny on Antenna TV! His sports coats were *blinding!* And I like all the political humor. Whiny Trump supporters always point to Johnny and say he was apolitical. Watergate, anyone?
ReplyDeleteI loved Johnny Carson! I did not even realize they were showing re-runs. That is a good idea. I am not a huge fan of the ones we have now. Loved your answers! Have a great weekend!

That was a short and sweet Sat 9 for you! It is allergy season; I love seeing things green up but it would be nice if the pollen wasn't so thick. However we've had so much rain it hasn't been as bad as it could be.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so jealous that you're in spring allergy season! We're still buried in snow!
ReplyDeleteI think that is part of the problem; the wet leaves that were under the snow are moldy
DeleteClam cakes? I've never seen or heard of those before. I'm going to have to keep an eye out when we cruise up the New England coast this summer. I love seafood and that sounds good!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the head's up on the Johnny Carson re-runs. :o)
ReplyDeleteI like corned beef in hash. ;o) And, You got your shoes fixed. Yay!
Spring is in the air, and all the pollen is there, too. Achoo!
Ah, the good old days of Watergate... an aside to the Gal....
