RIP Liam. I, like many others, came to 'discover' Irish music through the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem. And I still love to listen to their recordings. I have some solo recordings by Liam that I treasure. He was a wonderful ballad singer, and a skilled entertainer. I remember how, at Milwaukee Irish Fest, he had thousands of us singing "Wild Mountain Thyme" together - it was a magical moment where we all felt like one big family. A great soul has passed on.
