Very nice version. The best I heard on YouTube. My friend, Steve Spurgin wrote this song back in the 70's. He lives here in Northern California and plays in the Reno/Sacramento areas. He's a blast, so much fun, and has many many more! He thinks it's amazing that this bacame so popular and that many people think it's an old traditional Irish ballad.
when i read your post, i couldnt believe that, but sure enough i google your friend Steve Spurgin and he did write it! he did a great job!! now im going to look into the rest of his discography :)
I thoroughly enjoyed this! It was from an Irish Descendants CD in which I first heard the song as well and sadly don't know who wrote it but good job man! Made me smile...
I love this song. Its one of my favourits because my names in it, and it sounds like someone singing to me. You did very good on it, but I think it was a little faster.
lovely voice :)

Oh, okay. I was just curious because I've recently learned to play mandolin and had heard some people played bouzouki in the same GDAE tuning.
I'm interested in purchasing one in the future so I'm just trying to study up on them a little, hah.
