Happy St. Patrick's Day 2021

We'll end the fest with a bit of a wonderful oddity.  It comes from Ray Jessel, a fellow I knew slightly and have posted several of his songs here.  Ray had a very successful career as a TV sitcom writer and even collaborated on several Broadway musicals, including one with Richard Rodgers (I Remember Mama, that starred Liv Ullmann) and most notably Baker Street, about Sherlock Holmes that had a bona fide hit recorded by, of all people, Richard Burton, "A Married Man."  Late in his life, he had a second career as a cabaret performer, singing and playing his own songs.

This is an Irish song from Ray's album, The First Seventy Years.  But being Ray Jessel, it's an Irish song with a twist.
