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!1 Comment 286 weeks

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

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...
