You know, I forwarded the article about the banning to a few musician friends figuring they'd get a laugh at the notion. But here's the thing: If I could, I'd sing it -- it absolutely was part of my family's tradition and our community's identity when I was growing up.

BTW - if anyone from across the pond ever questions the legitimacy of the "Irish-American" identity, can we just link to Mick's post?
