Re: First Peggy-O recording |
And son to mother. That's our Easter Egg Dyeing song. A few years ago, while dyeing Easter eggs, my kid was in charge of the music and it became an Irish Music Fest, with frequent repeats of Jerry doing Whiskey in the Jar. We ended up with a whole lot of green eggs.

OK, Ian and I will let you in our little club, but ya have to know where the trout in the Wicklow are, eh? Or at least been to visit them as we have? Thought about it?

Uh, my nephew went there. And he's a great fisherman. (Fisherkid.) And my son the Irish-o-phile was really jealous and wished he could go too. Does that count?

Re: First Peggy-O recording |
Sure; everyone's Irish if they want to be (we always allow it, since, like as with most minority join ups, they rarely mean it...har, har).
But, I forget--is there something to your knowledge and the family's interest beyond this factoid that I've forgotten? Mc and I go way back, and my "real" name would be more indicative of my roots, but can't recall if we've chatted before about it all...

Re: First Peggy-O recording |
Yeah, Irish on my dad's side. Irish Appalachian. So that's pre-potato famine (actually pre-Revolutionary War), but still, whiskey in a jar is about right. Great-grandpappy ran a still. (Really.)
Not Catholic, though (which could be a problem, eh?), but the same brilliant Irish tendency to manage to be poor under any circumstances. (Hey lads! It's the 1700s and the country is full of open, fertile land that could make us rich for generations! No, THAT'S not comfortable. Let's keep on moving west until we find the most hardscrabble place we can possibly find to put up a still ...)
