good lad danny sounds perfect

[scumbrian]

Why are the yanks (albeit from Dannan inheritance) so good at the interptation of Irish songs?

[kathlelan]

I will answer this in regard to Danny because I am his older sister. Our father, Richard Quinn, had a trained classic Irish tenor voice like John McCormick, though from Brooklyn. He was ALWAYS singing and playing the piano as we grew up. His father, Robert Quinn, was born in Dublin, Ireland. He was a trained tenor who was brought to New York City in the early

1900s to be the lead tenor at the Metropolitan Opera. So, to say the least, Danny comes from a musical family .

[josparkes1]

He is very talented, and plays the guitar like a genius. My husband plays guitar too, is this a 12 string ?

[mickyjnr]

fuckin wrecked the song......

[EarthDoc1]

Wow! What an intelligent comment to make.

You must be a pretty smart person who obviously knows music eh?

Actually, the only thing your comment is good for is letting everyone know you are someone who desires desperately to have such talent but in reality has no talent at all...but I am sure you knew that because you are such a smart person... :-)

[mickyjnr]

you listen to me you piece of shit everyone is entitled to an opinion, just because mine is different to yours doesn't give you the right to be an asshole online!

[ftnchrislol]

if you're entitled to an opinion then so is he. what you just did is exactly what you told him not to do :). ("you piece of shit")

[tomg1958]

Awesome videos! It's just a matter of time before the world knows about you.
