This song was written by myself, and Marty "Moonshine" Mckernan, of the Moonshine Mt. Boys Fame, back in the early-mid '80;'s. In 1991 we got together to record some things, and decided to do this one professionally. We were lucky enough to get the Great Eileen Ivers to play fiddle and mandolin on it(she was home on break from touring with Hall and Oates), and it was a great session! Recorded at Brendan Harkins Studio in Teaneck NJ, who eventually settled in Nashville. We didn't use any banjo on this song, but I sang backup and clapped! Also appearing was Marty Mck. on lead vocals and guitar, Bruce Nelson on Bass, Mike Griffin on backup vocals, clapping, and $upport, Lois Griffin on clapping, Karen Smith clapping. I think everyone sang backup on the chorus, but I'm not too sure, it was 22 years ago! Hope you enjoy!

A great song. Before I visit your site, I was shure, that you must be Scottish or Irish. Sounds very good
