I've been singing this song a capella pretty regularly since this discussion began, andI have to say that audiences everywhere LOVE the song. I wasn't too surprised that the Irish Music crowd enjoy it - but I sang it last week for a Bluegrass crowd, and they loved it too!

Great stuff. I do give a bit of an explanation of the terms (praties, chignon and grecian bend) and always tell the audience that I learned form my father, and he from his.
