No problem, FreddyHeadey. Good to see you're still thinking of this thread!

Helen, my career having been in Law, I know only too well the indispensability of a dedicated and efficient librarian! You're quite right in drawing the comparison with "Danny Boy", with which I am familiar, having watched and heard, on television, Renee Fleming's unforgettable rendition of it at the funeral service for the late Sen McCain. As to "Gold Star Mother with Silvery Hair", however, this is the first time I am hearing it.
