@eurocelticyankee,
Wow! The Wiyos are great. Love both Promenade and Dying Crapshooters's Blues.
Searched again. (love to learn on our radio station)
The WIYOS write songs that are equally influenced by music from the Blue Ridge Mountains and New York City, mixing the more urbane sounds of Django Reinhardt, the Gershwin brothers and Fats Waller with the unrefined country fervor of Gary Davis, Doc Watson, and Skip James.
I liked the old Irish songs, euroGeorge. Why my daddy knew them is beyond me.

I don't think I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen is truly Irish, but it is beautiful.
