until last night

I had never heard Robert Burns songs played on sitar and psaltery...and sung in Irish Gaelic. But then I also had never been hit by a car for the 15th time, so it was a mixed evening.

wait, did you get hit AGAIN? are you kidding? Bardi, that's awful! I'm praying for you. Also, I think your luck might have been compromised.

Just remember...whoever coined the phrase. 'Luck of the Irish' was no doubt being sarcastic.

OOH, no good news. You’re OK I hope. Happened to me once. Walking on pedestrian being hit by a car reversing out of the garage. I ended up sitting on his trunk.
SO HOPE YOU ARE NOT TOO BADLY HURT!
Be careful.

That's crazy! My Irish ex used to say, "If you want to get hit by a bus the best place to stand is in the middle of the road." I used to think it odd that someone would want that. Is it an Irish thing?

Tis a saying. We generally try to avoid it actually.

Are you all right?

Sitar's and Gaelic...well in intro to ethnomusicology/linguistics they did suggest that Indian and Gaelic cultures were like split branches of the same original...

I am fine. And somehow I can't see that, although it is possible. Traditional Gaelic culture as we have received it is sort of a mash of p celt,q celt, Norse,Latin and Iberian languages. Along with a few traces of languages that have long since gone beyond the veil. Not that I am an expert on any of the above.
