Thread Name: Favourite Irish song
Subject: RE: Favourite Irish song
I am fond of the ROse of Tralee...about a young woman who died..and of course lots of the rebel songs...Boys of the Old Brigade especially..the other Bold Fenian Men..see who comes over the red blossom heather..

Thinking of singing three grains of corn to Maggie and singing it like a rebel song almost...with lots of editing and cutting..because it is a true story..name and location of boy are known.

Sonny's Dream is a Newfoundalnd song. Went to Ireland and came back as a dirge.

I am also discovering George Millar of Irish Rovers as a songwriter..they just sort of melt into the pot...mg
