Hah! It was Down in "Noo Joisey", Annamill had arranged a session in her local boozer and all of us Mudcatters got a turn to sing.

When my turn came around some guy at the back of the bar kept calling for Danny Boy. Well there was only one way to shut him up and that was to sing it. 'Corse, I didn't know the chords. So I asked him why was he asking an Englishman to sing Danny Boy; Put my guitar down on the floor and got on with it and sang it.

So, the appropriate time to sing it is when somebody asks for it.

It may have been overdone in places, but it is a great song and I enjoy singing it. One day I will learn the chords.
