Maybe it's because he signed a cassette tape for my 21st birthday a few years ago ;-) I think Finbarr had more vocal range to, a melancholic and melodramatic aspect to his voice that was perfect for some of these songs like stealaway for example!

[IrishandFolkmusic]

@sherp2u1 Aww but Eddie has always song Steal Away!

[sherp2u1]

Thanks, I prefer his voice to be honest!

[IrishandFolkmusic]

@sherp2u1 Really? I love the way he plays all his instruments but I think all of these 3 are way better singers but that is just my opinion.

[sherp2u1]

Where is Finbar?

[IrishandFolkmusic]

@sherp2u1 Finbarr has not toured with his brothers since 1995.

I went to see this live, so lovely this does not do it justice. Such nice people, God Bless

My Dad passed away today, this song is so befitting, he taught me so much about life, I have fond memories of our adventures. Love you Dad, thanks for everything and safe journey where ever your spirit wanders.

A Irish fellow from County Cork showed me this.. Its such a meaningful song.. I miss my old man.

The man I called Daddy died a few months ago he was really my maternal grandfather but he was more father to me than my own parents were. I miss my Daddy its hard to believe I will not talk to him again and he wont call me just to see how I am. I keep expecting to wake up to him watching the news and making pancakes.

[RobertRuhi]

Rest in peace Dad

My father took a heat attack 6weeks ago!! He`s doing fine now but when you here songs like this it just brings back what you could miss when he go`s!!!! But i`ll not miss what he gave me. Love him.
