GUEST,Moleskin Joe Debate... Christy M's 'Missing You' (26) RE: Debate... Christy M's 'Missing You' 27 Mar 02


When I was young the term "spade" was used as a term of respect and indicated that the person referred to was "ccol". I think it was used predominantly by aficionados of jazz music. As used in the Christy Moore song it is used in the same spirit as Dominic Behan used "Darkie" in Mcalpine's Fusiliers. Is anyone suggesting we stop singing these songs? Surely not.
