When the Girl in Your Arms..5th Feb.2025
When I stumbled upon this song recently I have to say that it didn't kindle or stir any magic or memorable moments from my youth. Nonetheless I find it tuneful and relaxing and with any luck it will "grind your gears"..!! Michael has added lyrics and some interesting notes. Thanks Michael...

I have a special affection for this song because it was a huge National hit for my late great friend Joe Cuddy with whom I sang the occasional duet in the Choir of St. Bridget's Church Killester late 50s early 60s. I love Michael's setting and I'm sure that like me, he hopes that you will all singalong....

I couldn't let the sad occasion pass without paying some sort of tribute to the late and legendary Paddy Cole who is remembered for this song among others. He was also a most competent Saxophonist and delighted the Dancers of many a Country Hall during his long life. May his talented soul rest gently with the Lord.''

Another Joe Dolan classic. Michael's imagination has added great colour to my vocal efforts and you no doubt will give it "wings" as you all take off in unison ..... dum de dum dum ...come on now let's hear you..!!

In this song I dare to sing a Joe Dolan classic..!! Well yes but a whole octave away from his exalted position in what I call the 3rd position.. One would be foo;lish and foolhardy to try to emulate Joe. He was unique and is still missed by those of us who loved his singing.. Pitched to suit most of you so do sing along ro Michael's lyrics...

As this one dates to 1927 I can't presume that many of you have ever heard it before. Nevertheless it will be in the memory of your very old relatives so do them a favour and re- introduce it to them. Thanks to Michael for setting and lyrics.

Ah this takes me back all the way to my childhood when I had access to a Banjo-ukulele property of mum’s cousin Jimmy Malone who was considered by some to be a George Formby look-alike. It was another old friend Frank Tighe who taught me the basic 3 chords. I was privileged. Great memories. To assist your participation Michael has, as ever, provided the lyrics with explanatory notes and setting.

Hallelujah..22nd Jan.2025
Переглядів 20614 днів тому
It’s difficult if not impossible to align the mind with the thoughts of Poet Leonard Cohen when he penned this one. Rooted in Biblical times and musically attuned to Early Church, the song, which includes several obvious Biblical references, utilizes the single word, “Hallelujah,” as its chorus. It’s exultant but it’s also a song about the dark side of humanity and of our most cherished trait: ...

My Way..10th Jan. 2025

Paul Anka is credited with having written “My Way” for Frank Sinatra. It’s quite obvious that much thought went into its composition. In the Admonition “To thine own self be true” etc. in Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Polonius would appear to be “singing from the same Hymn sheet” so to speak. I like to think that I take my serious songs seriously and because of this, I am slow to add it to my repertoir...
