I couldn’t even tell you how many times I have been in a restaurant or the grocery store or some other public place, and someone has come up to me and commented, “I knew you were in here somewhere, because I heard your laugh!” Yes, my laugh is that unique. (Actually, the word “obnoxious” came to mind first, but “unique” sounds so much better.)

[PART 3 OF 3]

In my first Danny Boy post

  • I shared with you the fascinating history surrounding the tune to which the words of “Danny Boy” were set, back in the early 1900’s;
  • I explored the possibility that this song may have played an important role in my own family’s history 😉 ;
  • I shared my long-held desire to someday record a four-part harmony version of the song with my four brothers, in honor of my sweet Dad.

[PART 2 OF 3] OK, this post is primarily for the benefit of my brothers, but someone else might find it useful as well.

In response to my previous “Danny Boy” post, my brothers and I are making plans to record a 4-part harmony version of “Danny Boy” when we are all together at Thanksgiving. This post is designed to facilitate the preparations for the Thanksgiving recording session.
