CUTE! Lively! Enough to make you want to clog your way across the driven snow. BUT, have you REALLY heard Barbra Strisand's version? It has the craziest tempos (tempi?) and comic back-comments.

And Aoife Clancy and Robbie O'Connell play in my area regularly, as do the Makem and Spain Brothers (Tommy Makem's three sons, plus Mickey and Liam Spain- there's video up at http://www.makem.com/ if you're interested.)RobinHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10325359641194305097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-53611171808929984012009-12-10T09:34:48.510-05:002009-12-10T09:34:48.510-05:00Ah, the clancy brothers!

Of course, mourning for him usually involves "pass the porter, pass the beer," so he may not want to be anywhere else...<br /><br />I hadn't heard of Liam Clancy's death: love that I read it hear first. I think he would like your tribute!<br /><br />And all you people who are supposed to be cleaning kitchens?
