Some great pictures of my dad with Tommy Makem and Liam Clancy. Story was that Shane had written Broad Majestiic Shannon for Makem and Clancy, but they never recorded it. Thankfully, at one of Liam Clancy's last performances he does a wonderful rendition of it, name dropping Shane throughout the song.


When Liam sang BMS he substituted the word "babe" for "Shane" as he didn't think that an Irish ballad would ever have the word babe in it :roll:

I was 12 when this came out. I thought it was the business. 53 years later I still do.

RIP Jean.

That is some fantastic hair in that video.

~ Warren Zevon

Apparently I'm at the "listening to songs about death and mortality" stage of grieving.
