Love the Irish Rovers--wait a minute--I love ALL Irish music--comes from having a DAD that came from Ireland at the age of 17 with just the clothes on his back and became a wonderful Dad to all 5 of us and could sing and dance with the best of them!

He really was a man who loved to dance,loved red wine, and women! Didn't he go to the Wedding at Cana? People flocked around Him. May you all have a Happy High Holiday! The birth of the Christ here!

I can't remember if I was at this taping. to the guy/girl asking for a fiddle; I 'd swap that syrupy orchestral flute for some of their tin whistle playing - trouble is, Will & George's hands & mouths were occupied with singing & guitar playing...
