to jeffp: no one else said a word, i'm the only one who sings irish songs there. as i said, it was an after hours jam. yes, she does command respect. come to think on it, she also objected to my '4 wet pigs' rendition, because she's vegan. she made only a mild interjection at that one though. i'd hate to see what she'd make of the 'chop that possum' number!
yes, i find it to be a moral song, at the end the murderer gets her comeuppance (i didn't make it through that far). i did explain that it was coming, but the gentle head kept shaking at me.
i think she did it in that setting because she could, at a live performance her reactions would have gone unnoticed. i actually like and respect her a lot, seems the respecting goes one way?
dunno. it's put me off singing that song though. i don't want to upset folks.
