It just hurts my ears to think of Danny Boy, especially on St. Patrick's day, or what was it?? Bold Fenian Men, severely altered like that. I think you have a right to do it, but especially Danny Boy..that is almost religious..it is like doing Silent Night to bluegrass on Christmas Eve..someone somewhere would like it to be sure and it might make the singer feel good about something..his or her cleverness perhaps...but it is trampling on iconic songs for no particularly good reason that I can understand....if it is a not so great song (in my opinion a bluegrass version absolutely saved "How can I keep from singing" but then others would disagree and say how could they? "" If the audience came to hear their traditional songs, as I presume they would on St. Patrick's Day, and they have to listen to them being ridiculed anyway in places like Mudcat...and then they hear it down way differently...it is not a good feeling...not that you can't do it but what is the point on a very significant day with very significant songs for many people of my persuasion...And that is a song as a woman I won't even sing because I always heard that women were not supposed to sing it...not a tradition, rule, whatever that I plan to break. mg
