McGrath, I do not know why the link did not come up. To get to the site, do a Google search for Arutz Sheva Jukebox. The first or second item that comes up will get you directly on to the page. As folk song enthusiasts, we should endeavor to learn about all traditions and cultures through their music. Even though I am an Orthodox Jew, my collection of Irish folk music far exceeds my Jewish collection. My love of Irish music goes all the way back to The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem, continues with The Wolf Tones, and more recently with Tony Kenny whom I have gotten to know personally. One who listens to the songs of The Wolfe Tones can get a better understanding of the passionate feelings that exits in Palestine. It is basicaly the Orange & the Green in a different setting where emotions often overpower reason, with disasterous (bloody) consequences. SOL ZELLER
