Not written by me, a song I learned ages ago in Ireland. Not much is known of where it comes from, apart from having been collected from Bess Cronin 30 years ago. I learned it from Phil Callery. I love this song for its soaring melody line; you really do imagine you're standing at the top of a mountain!

Lovely. Just lovely. I'd love to hear you sing Richard Thompson's The Great Valerio.

Oh yeah. You'd tear up Valerio! I love that song, and I'd love to hear you sing it. Brilliant suggestion, DR!

And, of course, let me add that this latest offering of yours is splendid, and a pleasure to hear.

This is a corny comment, but you should record a whole album of traditional songs/ballads. There is a lot of that stuff out there, but your voice would kick their butts and send em home crying.

You're right, it is a beautiful melody, and you sing it unbelievably beautifully.

Oh goody, are you taking requests? Mine would be "Song for the Mira (Marion Bridge)." :D

Beautiful singing, as usual!
