Just showing the 12-string to my friend Jenny here...it's great to be allowed to borrow it now that it's been repaired and I hope I can keep it for awhile! Arthur McBride is a terrific song, I love the way these "pacifistic" guys give it to the recruiters looking for cannon-fodder(as usual).
beautiful version. thank you. i am learning this mostly following paul brady's version, but you have given me other cool ideas. you've a great voice and i'd love to know what brand of 12-string you are playing.
I do wonder about your definition of 'pacificst. Not sure a pacifist would even carry a shilelegh, let along club someone with it.
I don't think this poem was written as much about being "pacificstic" or anti-war, as much as it was about the specific circumstances of the napoleonic wars and the English trying to recruit the Irish to go fight.
I hope your friend Jenny let's you keep that guitar too...So you can post more videos of your playing on it!
