Sorry, don't want to offend anyone with the last bit, I thought it would be funny. Please DO NOT start throwing things at me!!
Chapter 16 ....Because this could get embarrassing. I went over and told the band the song and they said "Are ye sure?" I said "Yeah, it's one of me favorites and I'd like to try it." "Okay...." Was all the band said. I went back up to the front of the stage and said into the microphone "This one is purely for fun,there's going to be some crowd participation, okay? When I need ye to chime in I'll raise my arms by me head. Is that okay with ye?" "YEAH!!!!" They yelled. "Okay, guys! Hit it!"
"Redneck Woman" by Gretchen Wilson
Well, I ain't never been the Barbie doll type No, I can't swig that sweet Champagne, I'd rather drink beer all night In a tavern or in a honky tonk or on a four-wheel drive tailgate I've got posters on my wall of Skynyrd, Kid and Strait Some people look down on me, but I don't give a rip I'll stand barefooted in my own front yard with a baby on my hip 'Cause I'm a redneck woman I ain't no high class broad I'm just a product of my raising I say, 'hey ya'll' and 'yee-haw' And I keep my Christmas lights on On my front porch all year long And I know all the words to every Charlie Daniels song So here's to all my sisters out there keeping it country Let me get a big 'heck yeah' from the redneck girls like me, heck yeah (I raised me arms) Victoria's Secret, well their stuff's real nice But I can buy the same dang thing on a Wal-Mart shelf half price And still look sexy, just as sexy as those models on TV No, I don't need no designer tag to make my man want me Well, you might think I'm trashy, a little too hardcore But in my neck of the woods I'm just the girl next door I'm a redneck woman I ain't no high class broad I'm just a product of my raising I say, 'hey y'all' and 'yee-haw' And I keep my Christmas lights on On my front porch all year long And I know all the words to every Tanya Tucker song So here's to all my sisters out there keeping it country Let me get a big 'heck yeah' from the redneck girls like me, heck yeah (I raised me arms) Hey, I'm a redneck woman And I ain't no high class broad I'm just a product of my raising And I say, 'hey y'all' and 'yee-haw' And I keep my Christmas lights on On my front porch all year long And I know all the words to every ol' Bocephus song So here's to all my sisters out there keeping it country Let me get a big 'heck yeah' from the redneck girls like me, heck yeah (I raised me arms) heck yeah, heck yeah heck yeah I said heck yeah!
The crowd was filled with whistles and catcalls and Aunt Sharon was laughing. Keith and all the lads but George, Paul and Ryan looked shocked. The other three were laughing their heads off, taking pictures of those that looked shocked and posting them on Twitter, which I was sure would have lots of comments later. "Guys, I think we should let me friends sing, okay? They know some really good songs!" The crowd cheered and said "Yeah! Any friends of yours are wonderful!! They were good earlier!!! Sing, Sing, Sing!!!" They chanted. I looked straight at Keith, said "The stage is all yours lads!", jumped down and headed to where Aunt Sharon was sitting. "Sunny!!" She said, nearly choking with laughter. "What on earth possessed ye to pick that song?!" She managed to say. "Aunt Sharon, it was the first one that came into me head. The crowd here is like the readers on that story site I've got some of me stories on, Nox Fingoto Nitrum. They throw rubber chickens, attack with hockey sticks and all manner of things. Here shouting "Encore!" is like commenting "Update!!" on Nox."

Chapter 17
Keith's P.O.V
She sang "The Island"! It sounded beautiful and haunting when she sang. The she sang "Surfers Rule"! I'm never going to have a moment of peace now, courtesy of the lads. She then sang something called "Redneck Woman". That last one had whistles and catcalls coming from people in the crowd. I was shocked. George, Paul and Ryan started taking pictures and I was sure they would be on Twitter instantly. Sure enough, my phone started beeping. At that moment though Sunny said "Guys, I think we should let me friends sing, okay? They know some really good songs!". The crowd cheered and said "Yeah! Any friends of yours are wonderful!! They were good earlier!!! Sing, Sing, Sing!!!" They chanted. Sunny looked straight at me, said "The stage is all yours lads!" and jumped down. The lads were all staring at me, so I asked them "What?" Damo answered with "Get up on stage numpty!! We're all going to be doing solos!!" I decided on "Lauren & I", jumped on stage and said "Okay, this is a song I wrote." I then went over the band, told them which song and to my surprise they'd heard it before. "Sunny had us listen to it so we could play it. It's very good." One of the female back up singers said. I went back to the front of the stage and started singing.
"Lauren & I" Written and preformed by Keith Harkin SO SEE THE LEAVES FALL TO THE GROUND, AND SEE THEM LYIN’ ALL AROUND, COS STILL I CAN’T SEE YOU, AND THERE’S THE WIND THAT PLAYS IN THE AIR, FLYING AROUND, HOW IT DOES NOT CARE STILL I CAN’T SEE YOU
AND THE SEASONS PASS AWAY AND I STILL SIT HERE LONELY, EACH AND EVERY DAY, WONDERIN’ WHAT’S GONE WRONG. ‘COS I DON’T REMEMBER SEASONS LASTIN’ OH SO LONG OH SO LONG
Chorus AND I STILL CAN’T SEE YOU AND I STILL CAN’T SEE YOU AND I STILL CAN’T SEE YOU LAUREN AND I LAUREN AND I
Background vocals:
I’M DREAMIN’ EV’RY NIGHT I’M SEARCHIN’ EVERY DAY
I HAD HER IN MY SIGHTS AND LET HER SLIP AWAY
AND THERE’S THE STARS WAY IN THE SKY LEADING MY WAY AND I DON’T KNOW WHERE OR WHY STILL I CAN’T SEE YOU. AND WHEN MY BACK’S AGAINST THE WALL I SEE A REASON FOR IT ALL BUT STILL I CAN’T SEE YOU
Background vocals:
I’M DREAMIN’ EV’RY NIGHT I’M SEARCHIN’ EVERY DAY
I HAD HER IN MY SIGHTS AND LET HER SLIP AWAY
AND I STILL CAN’T SEE YOU AND I STILL CAN’T SEE YOU AND I STILL CAN’T SEE YOU LAUREN & I LAUREN & I
To me amazement, the crowd started singing with me as soon as the song started! I figured Sunny had probably sung it a LOT. The crowd cheered when I finished singing even though they had been singing too. "Encore! Encore!" They yelled. "Damo, you're next! I said into the mic. Damo climbed up on stage went over to the band and told them which song he wanted to sing and I could tell he was surprised that they knew it. As soon as he came to the front of the stage I jumped down. Damo started singing, and again the crowd did too.
Come By The Hills by Damian McGinty
The first verse is done in Irish. Buachaill ón Eirne mé's bhréagfainn féin cailín deas óg Né iarfainn bó spré léithe tá mé saibhir go leor 'S liom Corcaigh a mhéid e , dhá thaobh a ghleanna's Tír Eoghain 'S mur n-athraí mé béasaí 's mé n' t-oibhr ar Chontae Mhaigh Eo Here is translation I am a boy from Ireland and I'd coax a nice young girl, I wouldn't ask for a dowry with her, I'm rich enough myself, I own Cork, big as it is both sides of the glen and Tyrone, And if I don't change my ways I'll be the heir for County Mayo.
Come by the hills to the land where fancy is free. And stand where the peaks meet the sky and the loughs meet the sea, Where the rivers run clear and the bracken is gold in the sun; And the cares of tomorrow can wait till this day is done.
Come by the hills to the land where life is a song. And stand where the birds fill the air with their joy all day long, Where the trees sway in time and even the wind sings in tune; And, the cares of tomorrow can wait till this day is done.
Come by the hills to the land where legend remains. The stories of old, fill the heart and may yet come again, Where the past has been lost and the future is still to be won; And, the cares of tomorrow can wait till this day is done.
And, the cares of tomorrow can wait till this day is done.
The crowd again cheered but this time they said "Your singing is great! You guys take a break from singing and get some drinks and then can the rest of you sing, please?"
