The kind of stuff done by the people that inhabit our Mudcat World are probably never going to garner a boatload of listeners, Bruce. Your stuff is no more pop music than mine, or Brendan's, Jed's, Mick's, olddude's, Genie's or Loxley's. Dan Oconnell's Moonshine Road blew me away when he garnered 100,000 hits, setting some kind of bar for acoustic folk music. I'm rewarded, however, by the joy of performing a really good song, like Brendan's, and by the encouragement of people like you and gnu and Dave Carter, and by the mutual creative energy that gets distilled and defined in this website.

Not for the first OR the last time, but....Thanks Max!!!

Good one, Ernie. That song deserves one heckuva lot more listens than it's had, imo. You present Brendan's lyrics well, and he wrote a darned effective story for that beautiful melody.

Well, here is my version. I couldn't hope to capture Brendan's passion in his vocal and playing, and so I tried to summon up the feeling of a session in a Dublin Pub. Brendan sent me some photos of his family and their Irish Citizens' Army ribbons, and I used them intermingled with some other images to try and illustrate his story as best I could.

I heard "Liberty Hall" and my eyes leaked, then I thought "Where's Big Mick?"

Maybe I heard LEJ sing it? It DID sound familiar.

I beg to disagree with regard to your talent, EJ. But indeed you recognize a good song when you hear it.

I may not be that talented myself, but I know a good song when I hear one, and Dromin and Liberty Hall are both excellent songs.

He must be the "real deal" 999, as he's already recorded two of my songs on Youtube!

Brendan, if you're not familiar with EJ's work, give it a listen. He's the real deal.

Wow!!!
Thanks for answering. I don't know whether I heard the songs somewhere or just that I think I should have.

And 999, thanks for the nice words.

Which songs did you write, Brendan?
I went in to sample a song, and loved it so much I have to hear the rest!
