Thumbs up

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.

Don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother
She's sleeping here, right by my side
And in her right hand, a silver dagger
She says that I can't be your bride....
