Now I do sing to everything in the car. I don't have a very good singing voice, but I sing. I've gotten some pretty weird looks. lol So when are we going to do the "Singing Dulaman in the Car" Day?  fieryred09, I have a cousin who would read the newspaper while driving to and from work. And you don't really dance but tapping your left foot, tapping/occasional banging on the steering wheel, shoulder wiggling.  Maggie, I'm very careful 17 year old when I drive. I only do the shoulder wiggle when i'm on a staight stretch with no other cars around. I live in a place where the back roads aren't used that much. Now if I'm on highway 17, I don't sing or dance at all with the radio. And the cellphones aren't a proplem either as far as distraction goes. hehe Here in North Carolina if you are under the age 18(I think) and are driving you can not be on the cellphone talking. Emergencies are an exception. You can get in big trouble if you are caught.  No, you don't sound like a fuddy-duddy.  Just someone who cares. |

I have a cousin who would read the newspaper while driving to and from work. Was he in a motor vehicle or horse drawn wagon?  We country folk know about backroads and in my day there were no such things as mobile phones or even cordless one and teh max speedlimit on the highway was 50. (big uproar when it went to 55. Jim. |

And thanks Mel, I'll think about what you said the next time I want to sing "Dulaman" in my car. Yeah, I always try to be safe especially since the car accident rate is higher for teens. I'm also an 18 yr. old "safe driver," and I don't like driving to school because I know the other kids get crazy after school with their cars (I guess they want to show how fast their cars can go, which I think is fairly dangerous) so I just walk, unless I'm really late to class and need to get there fast And about "Singing Dulaman in the Car Day".....

The other day, picking-up my sister at her high school in the afternoon, I would drive-by blasting Talking Heads' 'Stop Making Sense' album, windows down and sunroof wide-open. Totally 80s, and got thse kids nodding their heads and throwing their hands in the air. Today, I had the CW Slane Castle concert film on my iPod and hooked-up to my car's stereo, jamming that out. Yeah, let's just say I got a lot of 'WTF?' looks when they walked past me.  |

.........Today, I had the CW Slane Castle concert film on my iPod and hooked-up to my car's stereo, jamming that out. In my local Wal-Mart, I was upset to see they didn't have any CW except on or two copies of the first CD. No "New Journey" products at all, and none of their individual CDs. There are 5 racks of "musica Latina" to one rack of other music. On my way home, my ears were assaulted by booming reggaeton from a Honda Civic, the base beat was reverberating off several cars stopped at the light, and the sound quality was definitely NOT Bose!  So at the next light I got my revenge!.........I opened all the car windows, turned up the volume and blasted them with.......RAINING UP! Go Máiréad!!! |

Like a true CW fan! That's a great CD, by the way. I have it out right now from the city library until I can find a way to purchase a copy. |

I definitely should buy Raining Up. Mairead is absolutely fabulous, I'm not sure why I don't have the album yet. Kelsey |

Raining Up is definitely an excellent album. You even get to hear some of Mairead's vocals on it! After Lisa's solo album, it is my favorite. 'Course I don't have any of the other solo albums yet except for Meav's 'A Celtic Journey' which I just bought today.
