I recorded me on video a while back singing "The Parting Glass" and added a twist for the final verse....

And shared each of these with my true friends.

But since it falls, unto....

Youse know the rest. Then it fades slowly to black. Then 8 seconds of silence. Then, I come on again suddenly and say, loudly, "Oh yeah!" Then a slight pause, and I say, "I gave every last nickel to the IWK Children's Hospital so I hope you had lunch before you got here. Drink lots of cold water and walk slow, eh." Big smile and a simple, single wave. Freeze frame for 8 seconds. Then black. Then Garryowen on the pipes.

Classy, eh?
