Subject: RE: Origins: Danny Boy (introductory verse)
Yes, thanks Wilby. There is no doubt that I wll be in J & R Music World tomorrow looking for any Roy Orbison CD with that tune on it. This tune has such pull to it. Given the nearly universal familiarity of the melody, I found myself humming along with the (for me, new) extra front end and last verses. The 'dialogue' that these verses create, as it were, between the father and the son stopped me in my tracks, that is for sure. I am grateful for the reminder that this was one of the last tunes I played for my father as his hour approached.
Thanks for that,
Tom D.
