Subject: RE: Whiskey In The Jar
i heard this song on the radio a couple of days ago (metallica version) i thought it sounded like a folk song, but i wasnt sure. its such a wondeful song, and i find it refreshing that they chose to remake it. it made me think of how sick us muscisians are of covers, and that maybe in addition to the originals that i write, i should take a look at old folk songs and make them my own. songs survive so long for a reason;)
