surely I would. Lol nope, I'm not big on GoW anyway. Giving Tami a hard time, well that's what I do.

It's funny because for the most part The Waterboys is Mike Scott and session musicians. The first couple of Waterboys albums were quite rock oriented. A Pagan Place and This is The Sea. There is a self titled album before those two that I'm not as familiar with.
There's a song called The Big Music which first got me listening to him. I guess he's pretty famous for The Whole of the Moon which is another great track.
Yeah I love the band because they can't be pigeon holed. Just when you think you know what they do they do something completely different.
Sweet Pea's voice on that live version of Street named after my dad is so good.
They do an absolutely killer live version of Can't Turn You Loose. I couldn't find a postable vid though.
I have always loved Don Was and the gang. Such versatile musicians and two of the best vocalists in Sweet Pea and Harry.
That's a really nice story. It makes me smile.
What Mike Scott did in adapting the original poetry of The Stolen Child to music has always blown me away but then I consider him one of the great musicians of our time.
Make sure you have some kleenex for Street Named After My Dad. LOL
Rocky Road t'Dublin. I've sung that song many times and I must admit I have no idea what the lyrics are. It helps when there are 3 or 4 other voices I can hide behind. I got really good at "Rocky Road t'Dublin one two tree fer five" so I did.
Faith and Begorrah you do good work, so ya do. Love the Dropkick Murphys in there. :)
Sorry about Clinger. I know how tough it is.
Great Set. Here's one of my Favourite Mike Scott (Waterboys) cuts. The Stolen Child. It fits with the St. Paddy's day theme. In fact I recommend Fisherman's Blues to anyone who might be into that kind of music. I hope the track is good quality. I didn't listen because it makes me well up. LOL
