Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Chantal du Champignon (Brian O'Rourke)
Brian is being buried tomorrow. What a sad loss. Blas Meala and Pale Rainbow, two books of singable translations of classic songs in the Irish tradition, are masterpieces with analysis of the lyrics and their contexts. There was so much more to this man than just Chantal - but that song alone merits his immortality.
