GUEST,SeanN Lyr Req: Lakes of Pontchartrain - Irish Words (77* d) RE: Lyr Req: Lakes of Ponchartrain - Irish Words 12 Jun 02


Actually, I thought Declan's original remark:

"Do you really find it necessary to react like that every time someone puts the word Irish into a thread name ? "

to be dead on. Do you realize you appear to have a definite anti-Irish streak, greg?

As to the Gaelic lyrics issue--it appears that Dicho shares a similar anti-Irish prejudice.

Why all this hostility towards the Irish here?

FWIW, Francie also did a very nice translation of Barbara Allen for Altan's performance of it with Dolly Parton. As Nerd pointed out, it is a common practice among Gaelic speaking traditional musicians.

Also, the Monday night session at Teach Hiudai's kicks ass.
