I feel the same way most days. The frustration and the let-downs of life continue to rise up. Music helps me so much to filter out the necessary from the useless noise. Bless you as well and may we all find respite and sanctuary in an old wise piece of music☘️
Actually, I just saw that episode before coming here to listen to it. I always do. Many, many times have I seen that episode over many, many years. One of the best. And, one of the reasons I keep going back is to see Miles and Maxwell, sitting together, sadl, nostalgically singing it. So beautiful.
Thank you sir for a beautiful timeless classic...im an Irishman 110% I'm also a combat wounded war veteran buried to many brothers in arms both military 🪖 and police officers all Irish n proud all sent off to the good lord above with this beautiful ballad playing.. you've brought tears to this irish warrior and war veteran god bless you thank you ..as we say in the army rock steady roll ready.. hoora
John I’ve watched your career for a long time , an amazing man who as a Canadian is also converted in Scotland and Ireland because we all want to claim you… Thank you sir you are a credit to Canada Scotland and my beloved Ireland 👏👏👏👏👏
I cry almost every time I hear this song. It makes me think of my father's generation who stormed the Omaha and Utah beach in WWII in an incredible display of bravery, and all the generations before his, who were their role models.
I was taught this song when i was a student in an Army School in Kumasi Ghana. I never heard it played anywhere until the celebration of the D-Day landing on BBC. It too me down memory lane after all these years…some 60 years ago. A great inspiring song.
It is always magical whenever I find precisely what I am looking for. I am currently reading A Woman of Substance, by Barbra Taylor Bradford, and I couldn't help but look up the lyrics from the book. I am amazed!!!!😭😭😍❤. And above all am feeling nostalgic! my mother would have loved this song, for the book was her favorite!
John A super rendition. Your “Blame not the Bard” is the definitive version and Tom Moore would have loved it. Not for him the faux operatics. We are performing a concert of his music at Bannow House where he visited in 1835 to much acclaim. I am arranging the music and your renditions have been a revelation. Ian
Would it be very cheeky to ask for the sheet music for the piano accompaniment to “Blame not the Bard” from the album if such a thing exists. I have scored my own but it’s not as good!

There be scant few of the bretheren left. We burried one id saved 10 years ago, or so. In S.C. when building a canal way before the Civil War, the slaves were valuable, so they used the irish Catholics to dig & build id they died as they worked of exhaustion or milaria, & were burried on the spot & worked over them. My friend's cousin had his fingernails pulled out, there's statue of him on Skiboreen. I hsd saved my friend, but i know of few that remember the Stormont prisoners etc. Ive suffered in the US by KKK types defrauded my property, destroyed me anyway they can. Left for dead @ least 4xs, once in Canada. A slave in Portsmouth NH about 5 years ago. & so much, so much more to recount.
Шановний Пане Президент США Джозеф Байдан! У вас такие красивые голубые глаза. Поехали куда-нибудь вдвоём на неделю,полтары.Таким образом мы сможем проверить друг друга на психолочическую совместимость,без погружения в бытовые мелочи и в полноценной роли супругов. Просто пребывая 24 часа в сутки в одном пространстве рядом друг с другом.Вероятно мы узнаем много нового о себе и о друг друге. Велика подяка Богу. Я вас КОХАЮ. Вы мое сердце. ❤
Spam is fun: The above translates to Dear Mr. US President Joseph Biden! You have such beautiful blue eyes. Let's go somewhere together for a week, couples. In this way, we will be able to test each other for psychological compatibility, without immersing ourselves in everyday trifles and in the full role of spouses. Just staying 24 hours a day in the same space next to each other. We will probably learn a lot about ourselves and each other. Many thanks to God. I love you. You are my heart. 💚 ☘
Looking for thew Welsh history but this is what I've found thus far: "The Minstrel Boy" is an Irish song written by Irish poet Thomas Moore (1779-1852) and published as part of his Irish Melodies.[2] Moore himself came to be nicknamed "The Minstrel Boy", and indeed it is the title of Leonard Strong's 1937 biography of Moore. It is Roud Folk Song Index no. 13867.[4] Publication, sources and popularity The song was published in 1813 as part of Moore's Irish Melodies project, which spanned the years 1808 to 1834.[5] The record of the melody to which the song is set, The Moreen, begins in 1813 with Moore's publication of it, which is the sole source of the statement that it is a traditional Irish air.[2] There is no prior record, and no source for it has been firmly traced by the several scholars who have looked into the sources for Moore's work.[6][2] Charles Villiers Stanford published a "restored" collection of Irish songs in 1895, asserting a source for the tune; but scholars Veronica Ní Chinnéide in the 20th century and Una Hunt in the 21st century think Stanford to have not properly researched things, with corrections to several of his attributions having followed in 1898 in Alfred Moffatt's Minstrelsy of Ireland.[7] Moore, according to Hunt's research, had greater access to manuscripts and to printed sources than previous researchers had believed.[5] Similarly according to Hunt's research, Aloys Fleischmann mistakenly claimed as sources several works that in fact post-date Moore's own publication.[6] The tune appears in George Thomson's collection of Scottish and Irish airs in 1816, under Moore's title, leading to the suspicion, albeit no documentary evidence for which has been found, that Thomson sent the tune to Moore.[6] The Irish Melodies were overall immensely popular in Ireland and Great Britain when they were published, reaching a diverse audience, and "The Minstrel Boy" was one of the most famous songs from that collection. After his death, large numbers of special editions of what were later re-titled Moore's Melodies were sold at premium prices, with lavish illustrations, expensive green leather bindings, and embossed images of shamrocks and golden harps.These were also sold in North America, to which Moore's popularity also extended.[9]"The Minstrel Boy" is an Irish song written by Irish poet Thomas Moore (1779-1852) and published as part of his Irish Melodies.[2] Moore himself came to be nicknamed "The Minstrel Boy",[3] and indeed it is the title of Leonard Strong's 1937 biography of Moore.

I didn’t mean to offend you. Your version is very lovely. It’s just not the way I would sing it. I hear this song as a fighting song, a rebel war song, a national anthem rather like La Marseillaise. You sing it like it’s a lamentation over the grave of the fallen warrior. It’s very beautiful and sweet but I would take a more muscular approach. Do you see my point? It’s purely a matter of musical interpretation. It’s a very great song, and like many great songs, it can be sung convincingly in different ways. I’m a big fan of your work. I’ve enjoyed your music for many years. I sincerely regret that my comment seems to have given offense. You’re a fine artist and I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings. As for my own version, I’m a classical pianist, not a professional singer, and I’ve never posted anything to UA-cam. Your parting comment amounts to a challenge. Put up or shut up, so to speak. Well, perhaps I will accept your challenge and post something, just to illustrate my point. It won’t be of professional quality but perhaps it will suffice to illustrate my argument. You know the old saying - “Those who can, do. Those who can’t, criticize.” Best wishes and keep up the good work.

I am old, cynical and largely beyond saving among my family but your song has reduced me to tears. Bless you for your spirit.

I remember being taught this song in primary school. I didn't understand the lyrics then. I do now. IRELAND 2024
Lovely to hear☘️
I cry almost every time I hear this song. It makes me think of my father's generation who stormed the Omaha and Utah beach in WWII in an incredible display of bravery, and all the generations before his, who were their role models.
It is the toughest kind of melancholy, knowing others had to perish so we can live. thank you for sharing☘️
I was taught this song when i was a student in an Army School in Kumasi Ghana. I never heard it played anywhere until the celebration of the D-Day landing on BBC. It too me down memory lane after all these years…some 60 years ago. A great inspiring song.
Perfect song for November 11.
Indeed. It was on the Remembrance Special we just put out as well. Stay tuned for an excerpt! ☘️
Home run. Now all music can die happy forever.
It is always magical whenever I find precisely what I am looking for. I am currently reading A Woman of Substance, by Barbra Taylor Bradford, and I couldn't help but look up the lyrics from the book.

My broken heart will weep forever
Beautiful! 👏🍺☘️⚔️🍺🤙
Thank you! Cheers! :)
For all warriors.

A super rendition. Your “Blame not the Bard” is the definitive version and Tom Moore would have loved it. Not for him the faux operatics. We are performing a concert of his music at Bannow House where he visited in 1835 to much acclaim. I am arranging the music and your renditions have been a revelation.

I am glad to help in any way. May Moore continue to inspire
Would it be very cheeky to ask for the sheet music for the piano accompaniment to “Blame not the Bard” from the album if such a thing exists. I have scored my own but it’s not as good!

This is a war song, it should be sung like a march and by a basso or basso-baritone. This is too pretty, too lyrical.
