It's not as easy as "like" or "dislike" L
Every singer we asked had an attitude towards their songs - most 'saw them as they sang them'
Walter Pardon had descriptions of his characters - whan he had sung 'The Pretty Ploughboy' for us he pointed out of the window and said 'He used to plough that field out there'

Similarly, Tom Lenihan described his songs as "True - that must have happened"

Asked what he saw when he sang, Mikeen McCarthy told us, "It's like sitting in the pictures"
