I was singing Phil Coulter's "Town I Love So Well" one night in a bar - putting a lot of feeling into it, I might add, when I came to the line "There was music there, in the Derry air." Well, a young gay waiter was going by with a tray full of drinks just as I sang the line, and he stopped, turned to me and said, "Music in the derriƩre? Must have been a flute!" Whereupon I lost it, and the whole damn bar lost it too. Uproarious laughter! Couldn't finish the song, and to this day, I have difficulty getting past that line. All the best. Seamus
