Gosh, what a list! I just feel I must put in something to keep the thread alive.
How about the beautiful, funny love song, THE SPINNING WHEEL?
I fell in love with it's lovely melody and funny romantic words many years ago. It was the first "real" Irish ballad I had ever heard, sung by our new neighbor in Ireland. It started a great love affair with the Irish music for me. I still love it. It must be in the database. If not, I can put it on for you.
This is a great thread. I have really enjoyed it.
