First time I heard the song was 60 yrs ago, it was in our house and my Irish great-uncle George was sitting at the bar and singing (I thought to me, I was 12 then) but now I think he was singing to my dad for another shot of whiskey (translation of Whack for the daddio.)
Eli ( Elly).....song is true irish story of a "Highwayman"...who robbed someone, went to his 'lady' friend...man he robbed came to catch him, was killed, and the robber went to prison...from the 1650's, or so the story goes.....>^^
"Superstition", "Dream On", "Carry On My Wayward Son" "The Dragon Born Comes" and many minis. Omar will also be performing with them in the Chicago 55th Anniversary Concert later this month . Geoff really pushed everyone in this arrangement. Always enjoy your reaction.
