Bill Bradley is a treasure and so is LOD.

It is true, the Irish are consummate story tellers.
Their rich oral tradition goes back to Celtic times.
Passionate, witty, entertaining,

The British subjugated the Irish for over a thousand years.
And refused to let the Irish learn to read or write.
Forced them to speak English in public.
Part of why there is such a rich oral tradition behind closed doors.

My Irish grandparents used to tell me stores about Ireland,
the little people, leprechauns, etc. It was enchanting.
