Jeez, and here I always thought it was about a plumber -- "the pipes, the pipes, are calling".

There've been requests for it in our circle, but very seldom done. Back in the old days when former Portsmouth mayor (and husband of another Portsmouth mayor) John Foley was alive, he'd get up during the band's break St. Patrick's night at The Press Room and sing "Danny Boy" in at least 4 or 5 different keys (all at the same time). The only person who had the nerve (and skill) to try to accompany him was Bob Frost -- on banjo, yet.

We're also very fortunate that "Fields of Athenry" has not only not been overdone at our sessions, but I don't think it's actually EVER been sung in 25 years. (I may possibly be wrong; I've missed a couple sessions over the past 25 years, but not many.) The parody HAS been sung -- when Micca's been in town.
