Happy Days for a Waiter!

Well, well... this song reminds me two situations of happiness.

The first one happened in the end of November, actually on my 24th anniversary! I went to a Saw Doctors concert with my girlfriend, and this was one of the best moments in Ireland. I was so excited in the concert, coundn't stay quiet a second. This is one more remarkable moment for me, because i could feel and share this moment as part of a group... I felt I was part of something Irish... there was no more imigrants or foreigners in the theatre! All the irish were singing out loud! From my seat I could see a man in this fourty's who was singing as it was his first concert ever! Right in my front, there was a elder couple which was really charming! The old lady was dancing so beautifully that she seemed a little girl!

This was my fourth concert abroad and the third in journey to Ireland, and my first in the Irish island... Sister Hazel (EUA),  John Mayer's(UK) and Amy MacDonald's(UK).

This day itself would be enough for me to not ever forget this song. But, one month later I was in my company's party! Ok, it was a catering company, but it was a happy day, happy people and the beginning of the holidays, it was christmas party! =o)

I talked to the DJ and asked a Saw Doctor's song. Almost half an hour later he played, N17 was on again! 90% of the company was made of foreigners that didn't know that song, but, there 4 or 5 happy irish guys who sang this song with me, once more, unforgettable!

N17 is the road that connects Tuam (Saw Doctor's hometown) to Galway city.
