i found two of his old records and put them on cd for easy listening. i had a girl friend who rolled on the floor in laughter to "i hold your hand in mine" very romantic untill he hit the verse

"the night you died i cut it off
i really don't knoiw why
now each time that i kiss it
i get blood stains on my tie"

i still sing the irish ballad

he was the best satyrical somg writer ever
