My grandfather used to sing Spancil Hill, at the top of his voice, every Sunday evening with all the windows and doors open, you'd hear him from down the road. It was the countryside so no one minded.

Last night as I lay dreaming of pleasant days gone by Me mind being bent on rambling, to Ireland I did fly I stepped on board a vision, and I followed with a will 'Til next I came to anchor at the cross at Spancil Hill It being on the 23rd of June, the day before the fair When Ireland's sons and daughters and friends assembled there The young, the old, the brave and the bold came, their duty to fulfill At the parish church in Clooney, a mile from Spancil Hill I went to see me neighbors, to see what they might say The old ones were all dead and gone, the young ones turning gray But I met the tailor Quigley, he's as bold as ever still Ah, he used to mend me britches when I lived in Spancil Hill I paid a flying visit to my first and only love She's as white as any lily, gentle as a dove And she threw her arms around me saying, "Johnny, I love you still" As she's Nell the farmer's daughter and the pride of Spancil Hill I dreamed I held and kissed her as in the days of yore Ah Johnny, you're only jokin', as many's the time before Then the cock, he crew in the morning, he crew both loud and shrill I awoke in California, many miles from Spancil Hill

This song made me cry because your voice and guitar playing is so lovely but I was thinking how much Dad would have loved to hear this. I will be listening a lot more now and I am subscribing for sure, glad to be a fan and I hope everyone soon knows your name. Thank you for sharing with us, very much appreciated.

THE best version I've ever heard! Powerful! Love it! Makes me proud to be Irish! Reminds me of dinner on Sundays with my grandparents from Galway and Mayo. It was all Irish folk and rebel tunes we listened to with a little Johnnie Cash sprinkled in...the one American singer my grandma loved!

[@revdanimal1523]

This is actually very, very good. I dig the deep raspy voice. It sounds natural and not forced like a lot of singers. I learned a lot of "styles" on instruments from The Dubliners. Luke Kelly influenced me to learn 5 string banjo. Clawhammer style. Ronnie inspired the finger-picking from his expert Spanish guitar style, and Jim McCann. Barney McKenna influenced my tenor banjo(and mandolin) skills and style. I play fiddle, irish/tin/penny whistle, i learned to love hearing James Sheahan. All of these styles I have melded these into my own, and started doing well live until the coof. Stay strong

[@tanjawiabdu4440]
