excellent note on which to start the day, ebr.
 

kind of a downer if you ask me. is shannon in a 12 step program?
 

that was awful. a great way to start the week if you're thinking of driving a car off a cliff into the cold cold water
 

Well, I like it! It was the first thing I listened to this afternoon. It's beautiful, hopeful, and a bit wistful. I only wish I felt as renewed today. I'll have to work on that. You should listen to it again! But regardless of your opinion, that was very funny comment, 2:21! Thanks for the laugh. And thanks for sharing that song, Richard.

I don't think it's any of our business. Probably a good friend. Leave it at that.

Nice version of the song. My favorite moments are the giggling/laughing bits!
 

Shannon is a name originated in Ireland and is directly linked to the country's longest river. The name is now used as a first name for both males and females. The name of the river is a combination of Irish sean "old, wise" and abhainn "river".[1]

Shannon can also be a short form of 'Shanahan', a variant of the Irish masculine name Seanán, which means "little wise person" or "small but wise".[2]

The name became popular with descendants of Irish-American emigrants who decided to name their children after various placenames in Ireland in an effort to hold on to their heritage. Other examples are Kerry and Erin which, like "Shannon" although having their origins in Ireland were uncommonly used as first names within Ireland until very recently (perhaps the past 2-5 years). Use of the name in media circles has popularized it, thus making it more common[citation needed].
