  • Artys Favourite Song - Eagles.Hotel California

    On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
    Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
    Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
    My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
    I had to stop for the night
    There she stood in the doorway;
    I heard the mission bell
    And I was thinking to myself,
    ’this could be heaven or this could be hell’
    Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
    There were voices down the corridor,
    I thought I heard them say...

    Welcome to the hotel california
    Such a lovely place
    Such a lovely face
    Plenty of room at the hotel california
    Any time of year, you can find it here

    Her mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the mercedes bends
    She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
    How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
    Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

    So I called up the captain,
    ’please bring me my wine’
    He said, ’we haven’t had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine’
    And still those voices are calling from far away,
    Wake you up in the middle of the night
    Just to hear them say...

    Welcome to the hotel california
    Such a lovely place
    Such a lovely face
    They livin’ it up at the hotel california
    What a nice surprise, bring your alibis

    Mirrors on the ceiling,
    The pink champagne on ice
    And she said ’we are all just prisoners here, of our own device’
    And in the master’s chambers,
    They gathered for the feast
    The stab it with their steely knives,
    But they just can’t kill the beast

    Last thing I remember, I was
    Running for the door
    I had to find the passage back
    To the place I was before
    ’relax,’ said the night man,
    We are programmed to receive.
    You can checkout any time you like,
    But you can never leave!

    Gizmos new owner had to keep Giz locked in the last few days during all the furore . Hes used to having the run of the town usually, so he hates being kept in, but she doesnt want to let him out until things are made perfectly clear to everyone.

    Gizmo is NOT homeless.

    he does not need "adopting".

    hehas a home and a family. if you see gizmo say hello but dont take him home!

  • What Else!

    Gizmoooooooooooooooooo! For the past few years I have mentioned to those who would listen (my dog and Thor) that if Arty dies, because as some of you no doubt agree it was possible that the man was immortal, that a nice sculpture of bronze, stone or even dare I say it marble be made to replicate...

    I hope everyone has got their copy of The Arty G Tribute Song and supporting the St Vincent de Paul charity that was so helpful to Arty, in a most practical manner, in the past. It is a wonderful song that i`m sure people of all ages will enjoy and it is so very fitting to Arty G whom i`m sure would be very proud of it. Oliver Curran the composer of this tribute song fondly recalls Arty busking in Omagh accompanied by his faithful friend Gizmo. He was inspired by the overwhelming outpouring of grief following Arty`s passing. RIP Arty
