Greetings all,

As a point, I rarely sing Danny Boy on stage, mostly because it just encourages all the people ignorant of Irish music to call out all the other 3 Irish songs they know.

I did, however sing it at the funeral of the mother of one of my old high school friends - a lady in who's house I spent many a night and who really loved my singing. Her husband requested that I sing it, because it had been one of her favorites.

After the funeral, someone actually came up to me and told me that I should have sung something "more appropriate." (I guess, "Bloody Well Dead" - perhaps?)

Now, how many other people have gotten complaints for SINGING Danny Boy?
