  • My absolute privilege to have this famous family band from Missouri, USA to stop by at my place in between their gigs at the Shannonside Festival and I got to sing with them & tried a bluegrass number! They're incredible

      Really Robert? dead inside? what a terrible thing to say. I personally do not like blues--good musicians but I didn't like it all that much until it speeded up, then it sounded better, but not all that great... Different people like different things--your likes are not the standard for anyone but yourself. Can you understand this?

Ger o Donnell also has a very nice voice with a vibrato that no one can imitate so quickly.

    Was all the summer, and all the fall,
    Just trying to find my little all in all
    But now she's gone, I don't worry
    I'm sitting on top of the world
    Was in the spring, one summer day
    Just when she left me, she's gone to stay
    But now she's gone, I don't worry
    I'm sitting on top of the world
    An' you come here runnin', holdin' up your hand
    Can't get me a woman, who can just kill a man
    But now she's gone, I don't worry
    I'm sitting on top of the world
    It have been days, I didn't know your name
    Why should I worry and prayer in vain
    But now she's gone, I don't worry
    I'm sitting on top of the world
    Goin' to the station, down in the yard
    Gone get me a freight train, worked some, got hard
    But now she's gone, I don't worry
    I'm sitting on top of the world
    The lonesome days, they have gone by
    Why should you beg me and say goodbye
    But now she's gone, I don't worry
    I'm sitting on top of the world
