Story: Wanting to do a Closet Singer for Saint Patty's Day, I asked Marian for suggestions. She's a professional Irish Folk singer don't cha know. She suggested this song, and the rest is history. Thank you to everyone for being such great sports, cramming into that little closet on a Saturday morning. I truly am blessed with such a great community of talented, fun-loving, creative, friends. And yes, every single take, instruments were really being played for real, by professional musicians, in that tiny little closet, as well as real beer being drank.
TOO COOL! I wish I had this last Wed. this would have perfect for the cast of characters that are my friends! A smile ear to ear!

Not very good. Why not try if you areTransylvanian come into the parlour. The word closet has unfortunate connotations. Nice to see that my uncle Tom Molloy (pen name Frank Miller) gets
the credit for writing the song. Shaun Glenville was the artiste who helped to popularise it.

Shades of The Marx Brothers! Reminds me of the movie in which the state room on the ship must hold 100 people. A cute video here - I am Irish but the closet is too far away for me to come into. :-) Love the fun and music - what a great crowd here. Thanks for posting. - Paula
