The Irish Rover song will be heard a few times today at a certain bar / restaurant in Penndel, Pa (you can guess the name of the place)
Watching You Watching Mok 2:07:42 PM

Russell Woessner 2:08:06 PM
This is making my throat hurt
Brian D 2:08:58 PM
And of course The Pogues! And The Saw Doctors. And Wolfe Tones. Clancy Bros and Tommy Makem of course.

The Rover opened at 10am today. My friend has a photo to prove it. They moved a short distance "around the corner" maybe 15 years ago. The old Casimiri's restaurant by the rxr tracks.
Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 2:10:50 PM

Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 2:12:21 PM
I was getting ready to write that I know you used to listen to this

, Mike
Brian D 2:13:40 PM
My old band opened up for Black 47 at John and Peter's 20 years ago or so. Larry K was really nice. We covered this Waterboys song often. And we did it that night.
Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 2:13:53 PM
That's great, Stephen. Happy St. Patrick's Day! I"m loving it!
Watching You Watching Mok 2:14:47 PM
my green celebration is going to be different from most. It will involve Leroy Sibbles, Sly Dunbar, Peter Tosh..

What a nice thing you said, Stephen!
Brian D 2:18:11 PM
Infectious istening to Larry spin yarns ya . Don't have satellite radio anymore. Miss his show. He played from all decades old and new and across many seas. Loosely defined Celtic in the title of his show
Brian D 2:19:36 PM
The track "Billy O'Shea" from that Wishing Tree lp is wonderful
Stephen Higgins 2:20:15 PM
Loving the show! That Waterboys tune is my fav by them! I have this Chieftans CD...wore the dang thing out, played it so much. I think they have a Christmas version where Van the Man sings the lyrics to it.
Jim 2:20:43 PM
one of my fave tunes and groups, thanks Jerry, J
Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 2:21:49 PM
