When I see so many of our advertisers forced to close or go to some form of takeout/delivery, and the damage they are suffering, a few thousand dollars loss is immaterial.  We did not charge any advertiser in April, with the hope that those reading the interactive OhioIANews online will click on advertisers’ ads, go to their website, shop and/or order carryout or curbside pickup. We did the same for this May issue. No charges to our advertising partners. Thank you for your new subscription orders stating that you will read the OhioIANews online, and  therefore are refusing a mailed copy. NOW THAT IS TRUST. I am so angry to hear the latest implosion by the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the only daily newspaper in Greater Cleveland. I never thought "our" Cleveland Plain Dealer would drop to intentional elimination of local people reporting local issues, union people, to become ??? what - filler for the ad pages on Cleveland.com? Or, in effect, by design, extinct. I know and have worked with so many of the reporters, favorites like Michael K. McIntyre, Rachel Dissell, Roxanne Washington, John Cobra Verde Petkovic, Laura DeMarco, and on and on ...  those whose columns I seek out daily. I like the weekly local Scene for its angles and music scene, but it's not unbiased in any way. Publishing a monthly newsmagazine like I do, I can't offer direct timely coverage, like so many of these reporters mentioned above always did. This is a virus with no vaccine, and it has a 100% kill rate. I am truly sorry that professional reporters are forced to take this greed-fueled hit. Money is short; times are hard, but we always held up, those with the media card. I had a great chat this morning with Dan Fedoryka, of Scythian, checking in first, chatting about the new normal. and then talking about the virus damage to musicians, the supporting casts, and the venues they play, including festivals, which are being cancelled.  Scythian has a new CD coming out in July; the guys are very excited with what they have heard so far; I can’t wait to hear it and feature it in the July issue. In a divisive world, will it take a virus to finally bring us together, albeit six feet apart? Can we finally reach the point of saying, even though someone’s point of view may be different, I won’t let that different POV undermine the much more important, lasting meaning of friendship? Life is much bigger than that. The only really decent thing to do behind a person’s back is to pat it. I can disagree with someone’s opinion, even discuss it and learn something from it, agree or not, without resorting to snide, personal or toxic attacks. And I can simply move on. What are you trying to accomplish? Beware the green-eyed monster. Christianity has a lot of ills, but also teaches, a lot of love. So, that’s a bit of the theme this podcast: Love, or in Irish, Grá, for people, efforts, heroes and harmony. Did you see the story earlier this week in the Irish Independent? It is titled: Grateful Irish honour their Famine debt to Choctaw tribe The generosity dates back to a gesture made in March 1847 when the Choctaw tribe heard of the Great Famine. Funds for native American tribes who have been badly hit by coronavirus are flooding in from Ireland as they repay a debt dating back to the 19th-century famine. At least 41 people have fallen victim to Covid-19 in the Navajo Nation, which straddles parts of Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. The rise in cases is partly attributed to a water crisis.  An estimated 40pc of the Navajo do not have running water at home, and a drought in the south-west exacerbated the crisis.  As the pandemic intensified, the Navajo and Hopi families set up a GoFundMe campaign to raise cash to pay for bottled water. Already more than $1.3m (€1.2m) has been raised, with donations flooding in from Ireland.  The generosity dates back to a gesture made in March 1847 when the Choctaw tribe, which was gradually re-establishing itself in Oklahoma having been ousted from its ancestral lands in Mississippi, heard of the Great Famine.  Meeting in a building in Skullyville, Oklahoma, the Choctaw were asked to dig deep for people miles away they had never met. They did and the donations poured in.  Now, 173 years later, the gesture is being repaid with donors from Ireland.  "The Choctaw and Navajo people helped the Irish during the Great Famine, despite their own suffering," wrote Michael Corkery, who donated $200.  "When I learned about it, I never forgot it. It's history now, but we are still grateful. Thank you!" *** We are expanding the OhioIANews in Columbus, with new Columnist and Sales Rep Molly Truex.  Molly is doing all things Columbus and her column this month features two new bands in the Cbus area you should check out online and when the isolation ends, in person – Fialla (which means kinship), and The Pints. In this issue, check out CB Shanahan’s new book, Hollis Whitaker – a really great read, and a Top Shelf Selection. I read it in 2 days. There is a recipe for French Irish Crepes, and an Irish language lesson, loads of opinions and reopening music options of course, and other news, reviews and events from throughout Ohio, and Ireland too.  You can see it all on OhioIANews.com. Here is your invitation: Invitation by John O’Brien, Jr. You are welcome in my home Wait for no invitation, for it was given the day we met. Pull up a chair, warm your hands as the sweet tastes of the turf and the tea, linger My door is always open, the kettle always boiling. Scones warm vapors awaken. We’ll sing. Bards and sean nos. As generations before. Friends of friends come freely and stay, and go, leaving memories passing on songs, adding to the fabric of my life barely lived, generations old Only you have seen, what you have seen, the places you’ve been, stories you’ve breathed, friends and foes of the past and how they walked their path. Their ripples, and jokes, their memorable moments in time and so will live on, as we pass on. There are no strangers here only friends who have not yet met. For as ck chesterton said,  "Great are the Gaels of Ireland,The men that God made madFor all their wars are Merry,and all their songs are sad" COVID aside, do you find that changing? Do you see and hear a happier Irish music, book and event scene? Here in America, it is Mother’s Day on Sunday.  Did you know that in Ireland, Mother’s Day is on the fourth Sunday of the Lenten season, which is three weeks before Easter Sunday? Happy Mother’s to my mom, and yours too. Here’s an auld poem, called, Two Sweethearts: I learned a very different version of this old song, maybe originally Appalachian, but some say it is actually an old Irish song that has been changed over the years, to become an American Folk song.  SO many times, so many songs did. The words changed, the meaning, and often heartache, did not. Either way, the words are still in my head, even though I haven’t heard the song sung in probably more than 40 years.  It comes to me, this Mother’s Day. This is what I remember, it may not be “right” in some people’s minds, but it is, as I learned it: Two Sweethearts           Author unknown lost in time A crew of young soldiers one night in a camp were talking of sweethearts they had. All would be glad, but for one Irish lad, Who was very downhearted and sad.   I say won’t you join us, said one of the boys, Surely you love someone too. He lifted his head, and proudly he said Yes, I’m in love with two,   One has hair of silvery gray, The other has hair of gold One is young and beautiful The other is bent and old.   Those are the two that are dear to me From them I never will part For one is my mother, God Bless her, I love her And the other, is my sweetheart. Ahh, my sweetheart, what a woman - let me tell you about her, in a poem I wrote just a few short years, or maybe a lifetime, ago. It's called The Vacant Chair I asked her if she could go home or did she have to stay out all night She looked at me kind of funny, then her laughter peeled with delight We struck up a friendship; there was nothing more at first Yet every time we separated; I felt an unquenchable thirst. Friends grew to lovers, in body and the spirit. We finally faced our fate, time to precious to mourn or hear it. We found each other’s joys, she loved the teddy bear Her soul hugged her heart, when I built the vacant chair She was beautiful, she was gorgeous.  The kindness that I saw How she left me after the night, and always in constant awe I was never so happy, we traveled, and we laughed, We danced and we sang, she was a master at her craft I wrote, while she painted, her skill extraordinaire Poems and fond memories, engraved deep in the vacant chair We never had such happiness, each was wide with wonder That kindred souls found each other, amidst the din and the thunder No children had we, tho’ in the thought we’d often revel For the sickness had already started, the bastard of the devil Waiting, throwing up, more chemo left to bear And when the pain got too bad, I widened out, her chair Time slipped away, but the devil wouldn’t let go The drugs and the treatments – rained blow upon blow She fought it so valiantly; she cried that we might part Then I learned that it was winning, and a knife ripped apart my heart I did all that I could, she loved when I washed her hair Damn you devil, Damn the empty vacant chair Day after day, yet her smile was still bright, When I’d walk in the room, see her body there, so white She was home now, in our own home, peaceful here at last We planned out her funeral, and remembered about the past The pain and the fashion, were more than I could bear For one last night I held her close, as we dreamed together, in the vacant chair I asked her if she must go home or could she stay out all night She looked at me kind of funny, then laughed with remembered delight My heart, it broke in two and I can still freeze the moment But the terrible devil had won, death’s taking it did foment We were frozen in time, lost, without a care Now I sit alone at the table, across from the vacant chair The time it goes, so slowly, the moment’s hard to wait This that brought such delight,        now how I’ve started to hate How can it sit empty, when I am still sitting here How can the crying stop, when every glimpse brings a tear? I miss you love, we were a once-in-a-lifetime pair So, I search out the polish. Lovingly, I caress our vacant chair Recently, we have lost a few great ones: Mary Alice Boland, Frank Buckley. COVID 19  and Cancer has taken such a heavy toll on the Irish community.  So has Love.  To me, love is a woman, in all her blazing passions  ~ like a good cup of tea; you don’t know how strong it is until you put it in hot water.  She is a ship, a land, a heartache, a song and a legacy – She is … Love. Congrats to Kelsey Higgins and Corey Neito, who got married May 1st, and Spencer Littman and Shannon Enoch, who got engaged May 3rd. The news came out this week that more Irish and Celtic Fests have been cancelled. Penn-Mar, Ohio Scottish, Cleveland, Dayton, and Milwaukee, to name a few.  Dublin, Ohio; Pittsburgh, Michigan, Ohio Celtic have not announced their plans yet. All I ask is that: you attend what you can, be it a fest, a Restaurant/Pub, Import Store or FB Live concert.  We all need a touch of help, sometimes.    Ireland has given us much to celebrate Festivals and cultural events are a place of great joy Those joys were earned, thru trial, thru heartache. And mostly, thru perseverance. Nostalgia is not what it used to be. So this I say to you Nuair a stadann an ceol, stadann an rince (When the music stops, so does the dance) As John Denver said, “Follow me where I go, what I do and who I know;www.OhioIANews.com  www.facebook.com/OhioIrishAmericanNews     www.twitter.com/jobjr  Instagram: OhioIANews Sign up for our twice a month eBulletin that alternates with this 2x month Podcast.  I hope to see you soon, in a happier Irish music scene.

LAURA DEMARCO makes her debut with us to discuss her just published and wonderful biography "Mark Twain's America:  Then and Now."  She uses photos of places where Twain visited and how the same place looks today.  During a time when most people did not travel too far from home, Twain visited Hawaii to Italy, often for long periods of time.  How did these adventures shape the man who gave America and the world some of the greatest literature?  Laura is also the arts and culture reporter for the "Cleveland Plain Dealer."  One of her annual stories is covering "The Christmas Story" house.  We'll find out if the leg lamp is in the window.  And if there is time, Laura might provide us with some Cleveland ghost stories.  Don't be fragile.  This one is going to be fun and informative.
