Thread Name: Irish in America - New CD by Dan Milner!
Subject: RE: Irish in America - New CD by Dan Milner!
FOLKS,

This is a fine CD ! I especially enjoy the way the American songs sound American even though they are from Irish folks in the USA and about happenings in the USA. "Drill Ye Tarriers", "Portland County Jail", even "Billy The Kid". I had never known of hthe Kid's Irish background and that his name wasn't William Bonney (just an alias) but HENRY McCARTY born in 1859 possibly in Brooklyn, N.Y. (but maybe Manhattan). Both Dan and Bob have distinctive vocal styles that enhance the differences between those types of songs. Instrumentally, this record is a gem too.

So, Dan & Bob, which one o' you has the beard??

Sell a million of 'em ! Fat chance of that happening, but it's a beauteous effort that deserves to sell that many.
