I'm ambivalent about Danny Boy. I've heard and enjoyed it sung well, and heard it murdered by bad singing. Margaret and I were playing for people in an AIDS ward years ago (way before the wonder drugs, and most people we were playing for were on the way out). Someone asked if we could play Danny Boy. I did, on the bowed psaltery, and he raised his head up (he was lying down) and said he would applaud, but didn't have the strength. I wouldn't deny someone that moment.
