Thanks for turning me on to these guys!<br /><br />Here's Gaelic Storm's version...you all can see they are totally different songs due to how they are arranged. <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uchpLbhYqu0&feature=related<br /><br />I'm gonna go find the other songs you mentioned, they ain't ringing a bell (well the second one kind of is, but I can't recall it exactly.)<br /><br />Fred: I could go for a drink or three about now. :-DDD'ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01696955787843448807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139352805561711344.post-53141540542773255782011-03-22T15:36:09.533-07:002011-03-22T15:36:09.533-07:00Thanks Gina,drinks on me :DThanks Gina,drinks on me :DFrednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139352805561711344.post-55719896037154310832011-03-19T17:32:06.185-07:002011-03-19T17:32:06.185-07:00Aye, the High Kings are awesome :) Love their new ...Aye, the High Kings are awesome :) Love their new CD.

But Gaelic Storm has some of the best songs for kicks- have you heard "Darcy's Donkey"? :) After working outside with my ipod on shuffle, it never fails to make me grin to hear it. And "Go Home Girl" is damn near perfect.Evenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139352805561711344.post-72266367833692595932011-03-18T13:04:29.729-07:002011-03-18T13:04:29.729-07:00I meant to mention, kliklikitty, around here if so...I meant to mention, kliklikitty, around here if someone sings the song, it's always "The Jolly Beggarman." If they play it as a tune, it's always "Red Haired Boy." <br /><br />I think my favorite version of "Jolly Beggarman" is done by Gaelic Storm.'ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01696955787843448807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139352805561711344.post-77193713733961612342011-03-18T13:02:12.643-07:002011-03-18T13:02:12.643-07:00I do love the bodhran, started out with that.

She also plays the fiddle and I will sometimes play with her with my penny whistle or bodhran. It's really fun. I also have another friend who is learning to play Irish harp.Hazel Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01234157921832851920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139352805561711344.post-6283246508285413632011-03-18T06:01:08.261-07:002011-03-18T06:01:08.261-07:00Beautifully told... as always..

As a vocalist I know that while songs may change names often throughout time, once lyrics are set in place they tend to stay in place... the only way song gets a new name then, is if the lyrics get a serious rewrite<br /><br />Like God Save the queen & My Country 'Tis Of Thee. Both have the exact same music and melody but the lyrics are totally changed thus they are different songs. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139352805561711344.post-79095594099450758582011-03-18T03:37:38.576-07:002011-03-18T03:37:38.576-07:00I thought it might be a fun post for St. Paddy'...I thought it might be a fun post for St. Paddy's. <br /><br />No, unfortunately, I don't play the fiddle, although I've given it a few shots when I've been alone with a friend's fiddle. Sounds like someone strangling a cat. If I could play any instrument, it would be that. <br /><br />I do play the mandolin, and am a huge fan of Irish tradition (and Irish contemporary) music. Yes, I know if you play mandolin you get fiddle for free, more or less, but I have yet to master that whole "no fret" thing. And the bowing. Not so easy! :-DDD'ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01696955787843448807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139352805561711344.post-84178536955382449592011-03-17T21:46:30.562-07:002011-03-17T21:46:30.562-07:00I like that tune too!
