It was kind of you to once again ment...Hi, Birgit!<br /><br />It was kind of you to once again mention your daddy as you mark his birthday the same week that we celebrate St. Paddy's Day.<br /><br />Thanks for posting these great song performances by Maureen O'Hara. The first video, the three song medley, was nicely executed by all of the performers. My mother loved Perry Como and The McGuires. I have made this observation countless times before, but it struck me again as I watched the first video. Perry, Bing, The McGuires and other singing stars of the period had a soothing, calming effect on the audience. They didn't scowl, howl, growl, eat fire, spit blood or destroy musical instruments on stage. No wonder my mother couldn't tolerate rock when it came along. She found the music I loved disconcerting and absolutely couldn't relate to it. So, even at the end of the medley, the up tempo portion with everyone dancing and spinning their partners, you got the sense that calm would soon be restored. The whole point of entertaining people was to leave them feeling happy and optimistic, with a sense that everything's going to be alright in the end. That attitude toward the audience or listener changed drastically in the years that followed when angry protests and raps were set to music. I appreciate all of it, the old and the new. <br /><br />Maureen really had a beautiful voice, and I love to listen to her Irish accent as she sings. I remember "Danny Boy" as the theme of The Danny Thomas Show. It was even used recently in a TV commercial for Progressive Insurance.<br /><br />"The Next Market Day" is indeed a very pretty song. I never heard it before. Maureen was blessed with a long life. She was 95 when she passed away just before Halloween in 2015.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing these wonderful Irish songs by Maureen O'Hara. The song that immediately popped into my mind is "The Unicorn," the 1968 top 10 novelty hit single by a group you should know, The Irish Rovers of Toronto, Canada, an act named after the traditional song "The Irish Rover." <br /><br />Have a happy Wednesday, dear friend BB, and I'll see you tamale in the balcony - "At The Movies!"Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07887100141814372022noreply@blogger.com
