Love not to be. Love lost. Love in wait. Why? Who knows? We all have our dreams where we create the world we want to live and love in. If only they weren't dreams.

A young Irishman dreams of his love, Katie, the night before he is to be hanged for treason during The Insurrection. Lying in his cell in Kilmainham Gaol, he sings out, recalling the first time they met, as the sounds of rebellion drift into the darkness of DublinTown.

Watching a beautiful day end. A sense of loss as the blue sky gives way to dusk. Like a new love, when you part, even though you know you'll see each other soon, self-doubt and insecurity sets in. Dreamy Blues.

Sitting alone one stormy winter night in the old family shore house. Looking up at an old picture on the wall of my wife, three children and myself. I could feel that younger man staring down at me. Was I the man he thought I'd become? I spent that night with a bottle of sweet Grenache and my memories, demons and higher angels, as a raging Nor' Easter howled through the eaves. By midnight, the bottle was drained, I was a bit weary and bleary eyed, and I had jotted down this bittersweet, self-analytical piece about life, love, family and redemption. In the end, it confirmed what i already knew. My darling wife, my lover, my friend and my heart and soul, has been along for the ride through thick and thin, strikes and gutters, ups and downs. T's been my privilege to have her by my side as we walk through the human comedy. As long as I can breathe, I'll pick her up if she falls down. Always. Forever.

Part of a "work in progress" musical, titled "Ninth Street". Boy meets girl in the BIG CITY. Love, life and dreams come together. That magical time of sleepless nights, day dreaming, tender moments that you hope last forever, self-doubting, jealousy and mystery. She's now knows she loves him. But does he love her? Does he know how she feels? Do they both feel the same way. He knows. She knows.
