奈加靖子さんのコンサート「緑の国の物語」☘️🐏@巨人のシチューハウス🎵 美しい歌声とハープの弾き語りに、ウットリ。連日の猛暑の中、一服の清涼剤のように耳に心に沁みていきました。 アメリカへ移民として渡っていった多くのアイルランド人たち。エリス島に移民局ができた時、最初にこの島に降り立った15歳の少女のことを歌った「Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears」は泣けました… 奈加靖子さん、参加者の皆様、巨人のシチューハウスさん、ありがとうございました
A St. Patrick’s Day parade was held in Matsue, the water city loved by Koizumi Yakumo. The boats were dressed in green for the day and paraded around the moat of Matsue Castle. The parade on the water, which is unique to Matsue, ended safely in the beautiful spring weather. We would like to thank everyone who participated in the parade, as well as everyone on the Horikawa sightseeing boat.
