Thread Name: Most annoying song requests
Subject: RE: BS: Most annoying song requests
Jim Krause, poor lad, you're Orange without being Irish *g* (so's my ex-husband) I have a bit of Orange Irish in me, and my grandmother worried every St Pat's Day that I'd bet beat up over it. Apparently there was quite a bit of recreational brawling over this when she was young.
Regarding Orange Blossom Special, once upon a time, the Boys of the Loch had a gig at the Eighth Step coffeehouse in Albany, New York. Afterward we locals and the band went out for a beer, taking our instruments, etc into the bar, as was usual. At the bar, some college kid kept requesting OBS from Aly Bain. Finally, Aly played it, beautifully I might add. Amazingly enough, the kid didn't bother him after that.
