st patrick's day

the obligatory cincinnati pops orchestra danny boy gets trotted out on the radio today. not my preferred version, but it makes me wonder, yet again, what it is about the simple melody that unfailingly and hauntingly tugs at my heartstrings everytime i hear it.

here is my favorite version - friends, unadorned, by the fireside, of a cold winter's night. Sláinte.
