2day brian cowan came 2 our skool we had 2 sing dat song

[aodchain]

This is the type of song that should be played in Croke Park before and at half time in games not the stuff they have on. Jeasus even if they had your man with the beret Brush Shields he would get the crowd involved.

You would sit and listen to Derek all day long, what a lovely voice he had. God be good to you Derek as you sing the auld ballads in heaven with Luke, Ronnie, Paul and all who kept our tradition alive.

Is this the same Derek McCormack who toured with the Fureys for a long time one of Paul's best friends?
