Greetings from New York. My father was born and raised in Mayo Abbey, County Mayo. My mother was born in Clonmel, County Tipperary and raised in Ennis, County Clare. My father received the gift of your DVD for Christmas this year and has watched it at least four times this week. I have never seen him so excited for anything on television. I just wanted to drop you a line and thank you for making this video.
As far as I gather Irish people use a first name to greet not only a friend but also a stranger, who, once welcomed, is no longer a stranger. That's what I experienced in Ireland. My name is Walter, the Dr is just decoration used on the Continent.
