Thread Name: What songs do you 'see'?
Subject: RE: What songs do you 'see'?
BK:I had never heard Danny Doyle, until one night I heard an Irish folk singer friend of mine do "Moon on Clancy's Wings", and begged him to tell me where he'd learned it. He gave me the name - and I AM a Danny Doyle fan, now!:-) I see a lot of people have listed Eric Bogle songs in this thread - isn't he amazing? "Green Fields of France" can get me every time too. (I'm also known for losing it on "Four Green Fields" and "Christmas in the Trenches) There's also a song called "The Dutchman" (I have it by Makem & Clancy) that I find I can't get through, having lost a dear family member to alzheimers. That's the wonderful thing about folk music,though,isn't it? The way that it speaks to people......
