Charles said...: yeah! great song! :) Jeff Beck isn't a sideman for too many people, but he demoted himself for the tour with Imelda May. She is sensational!; March 30, 2011 at 10:34 PM
Robin said...: Charles,
I checked your profile and surprise!! Someone besides me has watched and enjoys The Milagro Beanfield War and A Migthy Wind. I'm from Norwich and living in Kansas. Its nice to see someone else with good taste. I also like traditional Irish tunes. My favorites: Black Velvet Band, Lord of the Dance, and Whiskey in the Jar.; April 1, 2011 at 3:44 PM

Milagro Beanfield War might be the only example of the movie being better than the book. Nichols' novel lacks the humor and quirkiness that we get in the movie.

Black Velvet and Whiskey in the Jar are new names to me, I'll have fun youtubing that. :) I'm familiar with the traditional bands that were around in the 70s and 80s, kind of lost track of things after that...; April 3, 2011 at 7:51 AM
