"Is that yourself that's in it?" is a Dublin greeting that goes back to the late 19th century. It is still used in Dublin to this day by old people in the inner city ...
I had no chorus to my song (which i do in this clip). I had based the rest of the words of the song on a newspaper story i was reading on a man who killed a debt collector (moneyman). But i had no Chorus ... then i heard one old lady say "Is that yourself that's in it?"! to another old lady ... and there was my chorus ...

Playing in Cologne was the first time i had played in Germany since 1984/5 with the "Wild Geese".

It was a magnificent night!

There is sort of an optical illusion here. If you can keep your eyes off the beautiful brunette in the middle, you can see Mick Fitzgerald singing a song.
