Entry: St. Patrick and All Those Potatoes Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/st_patrick_and_all_those_potatoes#677 Post contents: Aye. Ahh. I'm off duty and a bit drunk now, and now I'm remembering a song which my father taught me - and, funny thing is, it's a SCOTTISH song, which my father's grandmother sang to my father when he was a child, when he nearly died from a fever, my Scottish great-grandmother stroked my father's hair and sat by his bedside day and night for days and nights for ten days, day and night, and she sang this song to him while she stroked his hair and nursed him back to life: http://youtube.com/watch?v=3KPPtffOUkk I just wanted to make a record of it. Taki, my good host and our true and rightful and warm-hearted Lord/Thane/Earl on this forum, I think you will appreciate this if you see it and hear it. Anyway, my father's Scottish grandmother sang this song to him when he was almost dying from a fever. And I'm quite happy to share this song with my Irish cousins and friends, too. :-) Sent at: 2008 10 07
