I have it on the list as Derry Aire (post #38), which is what it used to be on the jukebox in my late brother’s nightclub. Same song as an instrumental. ---

The Derry Air is the name of the air, Danny Boy is the most famous song that uses the air. 🙂 ---

Mr. S is the Irish music fan in our house, and I’m sure he’d have quite a playlist. (I don’t have anything against Irish music, and enjoy hearing it; it’s just that he follows the groups, buys all of our Irish CDs, etc.). We’ve been to see Solas and Karan Casey a few times, so I guess anything by them would be a good addition. We’re actually going to hear Karan Casey perform on St. Patrick’s Day this year! 😃 😛 ---

Put up the cast recording to Andrew Lloyd Webber & Ben Elton’s [The Beautiful Game](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beautiful_Game_(musical)). Excellent. The show was supposed to come to Broadway in the 2002-2003 season. 9.11 killed that idea. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/st-patricks-day-playlists/441061.md?page=2)
