Why I love being Irish

My dad's family is from County Cork.  His last name was Carney and I believe his family moved from Ireland in about 1870 but I am not sure will have to look that up in the family archives.  I love Irish music and hope to go to the Celtic Festival in Austin next weekend.  Would love to hear from other relatives if there are any on here.  My goal is to visit Ireland and see the sites and if possible move there.  Hope everyone is  having a great day.
