I always enjoyed Red Nose Day in the past! Pity I miss it now, being over in the US. Any fun TV specials or anything? (I once bought the Comic Relief Sketch book and it is one of the best things I ever bought - BRILLIANT sketches in it, from people like Victoria Wood, Rowan Atkinson, Fry and Laurie, the Pythons, etc...)

a tv special on channel 1...with just about everything from comedy (Dawn French - Vicar of Dibley) to Comic relief does Fame Academy (in case you dont know Fame Academy a talent contest - similar idea to American Idol) but the celebs do things. Not to mention bands and other bits n bats... -e_H-

Danny Boy = Londonderry Air. You learn something new every day. Inferno, I have to ask about your avatar. It reminds me of Ritsuko from Eva, but it's a bit small for me to be sure. If it is, it would be from the Liliputian Hitcher episode.

I don't drink beer or eat corned beef, but I do like other aspects of Irish culture: Step dancing (I love Riverdance), Irish music (Enya, Celtic Women, Clannad). I am not sure what is American Irish and what is Irish Irish in terms of food.

My name is Cawley. I'm one resident crow in the shire and do tell is what i like. I was about as usual in farmer Maggot's field on the prowl (the hobbit sort would not be the only hungry about trying for a bit of supper) when i spot the usuals, Pippin and Merry. Matter-o-fact they tarried a might too long and came flying out wacking corn stalks. But to my grand surprize out leading with an arrayed what-not armful was gramma. Land sakes she is fast. It looks like we got another clean getaway, barely. CAW! Happy Birthday gramma (again) I am glad you are having the proper fun. (Gad am i late. Clean forgot fiesta again.

The source of the names - and more: here are my "concert notes" for the piece: "IRISH TUNE FROM COUNTY DERRY" by Percy Grainger The next piece is a very familiar old tune. It is said to have been first transcribed in the 19th century by Miss Jane Ross, of New Town in Limavady, of Londonderry County in Ireland, who said that she had heard a blind fiddler playing it. It was one of many tunes she passed along to Dr. George Petrie, and he published it in his collection of "The Ancient Music of Ireland" in 1855. That is where the Australian composer Percy Grainger found this tune, which he then arranged and published as "Irish Tune from County Derry" in 1911. It is considered his best-known and most-played work for band, and to be a model of "superb scoring, harmonic genius and powerful emotional expression". But the story for this tune does not end there. The year after its publication, a woman named Margaret Weatherly heard it played by Irish Emmigrant gold prospectors in Colorado. She obtained a copy and sent it to her brother-in-law, a London lawyer named Fred Weatherly, who was also a poet. One particular poem he had written in 1910 seemed to go well with it, and so after a few alterations to make the words fit the tune, the song we know now as "Danny Boy" was born.
