Summer in Galway, postcards, and music by John Dog, particularly Waking Dream, Summer’s Promise, and Imperfect Strangers. The sound of days when time passed slowly.
Waking Dream:
Summer’s Promise:
Imperfect Strangers:
Added, one more for Ray: the Estoria Cinema, Galway, later called the Claddagh Palace, and now gone altogether. From Palace of Dreams, a short documentary by Hawkeye Films. (I’ve not seen it.)

I find it depressing and think of Samuel Beckett's people walking around.
I can imagine that is where Winnie, the character of "Happy Days", is buried in the sand.
I always thought she was on Dollymount Strand, with a fine view of Dublin Bay.
I've just remembered a sort of, kind of, tenuous connection between the Salthill prom and Happy Days. In my teens in Galway my mother took me to see a show by Rosaleen Linehan and Des Keogh, and either before or after we spied Mr Keogh walking along the prom pictured on the postcard. Years later when I saw Happy Days at the Barbican, Rosaleen Linehan played Winnie. So now!
I love what people call "coincidences".
I think that my views about those places are tinted by my South American origins.
