Aw, Tommy Makem died.
I used to see him with Liam Clancy, down at Lisner Auditorium. I even bought a tin whistle because of him.
I get kinda choked up when I hear Four Green Fields.
Speaking of Four Green Fields, this is how the wire service report described it:
He brought audiences to tears with "Four Green Fields," about a woman whose sons died trying to prevent strangers from taking her fields.
Huh. I always assumed that the field in bondage was Northern Ireland, and those fine strong sons were the republicans...guess I was reading too much into it, all these years.
