Erin, (just out of curiosity, why should one want to be called after a country ?) Conrad gave a most enlightening and accurate précis of the Unionist people's Song Tradition. It is a matter of fact not opinion. There is no side of any story to be gathered from what he says. The *content* of the songs will furnish you with any amount of opinions and interpretations of past - and present - events.

I hope this helps to blunt the horns of your dilemma. Trevor
