Skibereen does it for me too. "Kilkelly Ireland" took forever to learn. Just reading the words choked me up. Eric Bogle's "Leaving Nancy" aroused the same emotions for many years.


Funny Joe: "Liverpool Lullaby" was just about growing up, to me. It spoke of a mothers devotion to her child while his Da' was out taking care of his social responsibilities. Little wonder that I have zero tolerance for any form of child abuse. Thank You for pointing that one out.
