Subject: RE: Happy Birthday O.J. Abbott
Nice one. I hadn't realised that this was a double anniversary year for him.
Actually OJ was a goldmine of good songs, including The Bonny Bunch of Rushes Green, John Barleycorn, The Cruiskeen Lawn, Daniel O' Connell's Steam Engine,Skibereen, Lost Jimmy Whelan and many more.
But the gem of his entire repertoire has surely got to be The Plains of Waterloo. Wonderful song.
