Tommy Makem and Liam Clancy, and Makem and Spain discussion

[Delthion]

The topic title says it all! I'll be posting more tomorrow.

[Mhera]

Listening to The Dutchman right now. I feel Irish .

[Delthion]

"Let us go to the banks of the ocean!
Where the walls (something unintelligible.)
Long ago, I used to be a young man!
And dear remembers that for me!"

Good song!
Have you listened to "The Cocky Farmer" yet?

[Delthion]

Another really good song in my opinion.

[Mhera]

Have you listened to "The Cocky Farmer" yet?

Yes. And that one you just posted?

"So my song for you this evening,
it's not to make you sad"

Yeah, no I'm sad now.

[Delthion]

"Nor for adding to the sorrows, of this troubled northern land!
But lately I've been thinking, and it just won't leave my mind.
To tell you of good friends one time, they were both good friends of mine!
There were roses! Roses! There were roses!
And the tears of the people, they ran together through this land!"

"Of drought and flood, I've lived through plenty!
But it's nearly over now! Now I'm easy."

I didn't realize that you had just listened to the Cocky Farmer otherwise I would not have posted There Were Roses.

But here's a more cheery song by the same person who sang There Were Roses:

I didn't realize that you had just listened to the Cocky Farmer otherwise I would not have posted There Were Roses.

No, I actually listened to There Were Roses, then the Cocky Farmer after that. And then I listened to There Were Roses again with the volume really high. My sadness is not your fault.

That last song wasn't so cheery as it was warm. Very nice, thanks for posting it.

[Delthion]

You're welcome!

Now if you really want to be sad, listen to all three of these in succession.

[Delthion]

This needs to be brought back!

Favorite song now?

[Delthion]

[Mhera]

Summer Roads!

[Delthion]

That's my favorite carefree song! That or I Wish I was Hunting. That's a good one. What do you thin about Sound the Pibroch?

[Delthion]

Well, I just got back from a Makem and Spain concert. Makem and Spain's Website. They were awesome! I got a picture with them, and an autographed CD!

[Mhera]

What do you thin about Sound the Pibroch?

Just saw this. I like it, though I unfortunately have no idea what event it's commemorating

And it definitely sounds like you had fun at the concert

[Delthion]

YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT EVENT IT'S COMMEMORATING?!!! (Sorry, the history buff inside me exploded. ) It's commemorating the valiant stand of the Scottish against the Duke of Culloden and telling about the defeat of the Scottish. It was April 16 which was a Wednesday that year, I forget what year it was though.
