Thread Name: Danny Boy banned in pub....
Subject: RE: Danny Boy banned in pub....
Well, I've got a soft spot for it, but even softer ones for others which I learned, on Mudcat, are not "authentic" or have been done to death...which doesn't bother me because one my mom sang me to sleep with, being Irish Lullaby; one my grandson loves, being The Leprechaun Song and also the Green Alligators song; and three, or is it four, m'dad always played Irish Washerwoman, at my request, so that I could dance to it; and fifth or whatever, I'll Take You Home again Kathleen because both mom and dad sang it me, and, being a "Kathleen" I always felt my heart being tugged to the auld country when they did.

So sign me unabashedly trite or whathaveyou and Danny, I'd pay ya to hear ya sing it, too!:-)
