Hello

Raymond...

This is indeed one that we all sing @ Sweet Rosie O'Grady's Bar & Grill in The Big Apple. I even sing it with my very thick and distinctive (non-Irish) NY accent.

Here,you have certainly done this bona fide classic in the Irish tradition great justice with your poignant and sensitively-rendered musical showcase.

Peace,

Stewball

[raymondcrooke]

Thank you, Mr Stewball.

[Colognefgfg]

Really wonderful and sterling performence mr crooke! | 5 stars |*|*|*|*|*|

[raymondcrooke]

Thanks, Christopher,

[Themanwhodoesnothing]

Wonderful Raymond. You got the sound man. My Grandfather,an Irish immigrant to the States, sang just like this.

Mark

[raymondcrooke]

Thanks, Mark. I still get the occasional comment that I shouldn't sing Irish songs because I don't have the right accent!

[Themanwhodoesnothing]

WHat!?!? Thats just rediculous. Whoever said that is missing the point entirely. Like I said, this is some of the best traditional music I've ever heard.

[raymondcrooke]

Have you heard my song, "YouTube Comments"? (Video No. 347) I think the best way to deal with such nionsense is to write a song about it!

[marcoacca]

A great rendition, Raymond.

[raymondcrooke]

Thanks, Marco, especially for the video response.

[ghostgal30e]

Great song.  Thanks for sharing..

[raymondcrooke]

Thanks, GG. Have a listen to Marco's rendition (video response). It's very good, especially the guitar work.

[derekeverett]

I found this powerful and quite enjoyable. But I love Loch Lomond so I guess that makes sense. Great lyrics here though.

[raymondcrooke]

Thanks Derek. They're both lovely songs.
