Shiny Red Honda : Growing Up in Rural Waterford in the 1950/60\'s, Paperback by O\'Brien, Tom, ISBN 1494844931, ISBN-13 9781494844936, Like New Used, Free shipping in the USThe Shiny Red Honda is about growing up in rural Ireland in the 1950/60\'s, a time of great rural upheaval and change. The creamery, the horse and cart, cross-road dancing, travelling shows, the threshing machine...all their days were numbered. Going to school across the Mass-Path, thinning turnips for a shilling a drill, watching Audie Murphy and Randolph Scott in films that broke down half-way through every reel, being an Altar boy and \'fiddling\' the church collection boxes, learning to dance with a broomstick as a partner...rare memories of an age of innocence. Who flattened Fr. Sinnott in the sacristy? What was the initiation ceremony at Flahavans Mills? Who was the trombone player in the band who couldn\'t play a note? It is also about dreams and aspirations: a young man\'s entry into the world of work, and his brief flirtation with the music biz. A story told honestly and uncompromisingly. As it was - warts and all.
