Just found out Tommy Makem died today. He was a fine performer and a wonderful showman. His humor and voice will be missed.
"Oh all the comrades that e'er I've had, they are sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I've had, they would wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot that I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call good night and joy be with you all"
-The Parting Glass-Tommy Maken & The Clancy Brothers
