Great sound there Belfast Cowboys! Check out www. culturenorthernireland. org if you are interested in the arts and cultural scene in NI. And join us as a myspace friend to keep up to date with the latest features and events :)
Terry, glad to hear you are finishing a new CD. The original material on the Terry Walsh and 2 A.M. profile is really good. I really love the tangible sense of place in your songs - smart lyrics and great melodic sensibilities.
Hey Guys! Thank you so much for the friend request. Sorry it took me so long to leave this comment....my real life got in the way of my Myspace life. Love your sound and I hope to see you guys live the next time I'm in MN visiting my family! If you ever come my way, let us know...We'll treat you to some southern hospitality with a Norwegian Twist. Wishing you peace and love!!
Hey, Belfast Cowboys, thanks for adding Swallows to your friend's list. We love what you are doing and we absolutely love Van Morrison, especially T.B. Sheets and anything off of Astral Weeks (Madame George, Sweet Thing, etc.). Don't forget about your original contributions, too, though, because the world ain't finished and everything has not been said that needs to be said (even though you probably won't earn a dime saying it!). - Jeff, Swallows
