I like your choice in music Rick.
How about this one:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hwb8C2TijYE his thievin Jenny stole his rapier. |
I love that song, and it's best when played by a traditional band.
The vocalist (his name escapes me) has left us along with Shane Magowan. Both of them 'men you don't meet every day'. :( |
Rick, a lot of music is best played when played by Irishmen, and women too.
