I don't get the Irish/ Pontchartrain connection. Nice song!

Oh! Da Creole! Usually they be Cajun 'round dere, not Irish.

I'm a cracker from not too far away.

Eric Clapton

I always thought that drippy guitar solo at 1:33 just evokes the rain.

Paul Brady lives too far away to realize there is only one Lake Ponchartrain.

When I sing that I change it to "the shores of Ponchartrain".

Marisa Monte "Dança da Solidão" (dance of solitude) from Rose and Charcoal (1994 Metro Blue US/EMI Brasil) -- one of my favourite of her repetoire.

Accompanied by Gilberto Gil, who does a brilliant job making an Ovation guitar actually sound good
--- also singing an infectious counterpoint harmony, climbing a third above her voice in the last verse and then coming down the ladder....

​

Desilusão... desilusão
Danço eu, dança você
Na dança da solidão​

"Disillusion... disilluision...
I dance, you dance the Dance of Solitude..."

The emotional denouement arrives in the last verse where hope transcends bitterness

Quando vem a madrugada, meu pensamento vagueia
Corro os dedos na viola, contemplando a lua cheia
Apesar de tudo existe, uma fonte de água pura
Quem beber daquela água não terá mais amargura​

In the wee hours, my mind wanders;
My fingers run over the guitar, contemplating the full moon....
In spite of all this, there is a fountain of pure water
Who drinks from this water will have no more heartbreak.


Gilberto Gil was one of the musicians exiled by the previous repressive military government and later returned and became the Minister of Culture in Bahia. Boa sorte para a gente do Brasil.

The Tomcat was a hot rod, I don't care what anybody says.

Duane Allman one of the all time greatest guitar players
