Hi Everyone
This week for @ablaze s Three Tune Tuesday I am paying tribute to the memory of The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem
The Clancys , Tom ,Paddy and Liam were all from Tipperary ,Tommy Makem was from Belfast.
They became famous after appearing on the Ed Sullivan show in 1961 .The sang and made popular old Irish folk songs.
This week I would like to take a shot at singing 3 tunes I was inspired to learn after hearing thier versions.
This first song is from that Ed Sullivan show in 1961 , It is called "The Rising Of The Moon" and tells the tale of a battle fought during The Irish Rebellion of 1798.
The Captain who led the Irish rebels against the British was called Theobald Wolfe Tone which I think
may well be the greatest name I have ever heard.
This second song is one I really enjoyed playing for guys this week. Its called "Tell me Ma When I go Home"
This last song is from The Clancys and Tommy Makem Reunion which was record in 1984 in the Grand City Hall in New York. Before this concert the 4 of them hadn't played a concert together since 1969.
The song is called "The Rare Old Mountain Dew" its about making illegal booze in The Mountains :).

Three Tunes Tuesday posted to the Music Community? What are the rules and guidelines for joining in this fun?
You just need to share 3 songs with the music community that inspire you or mean something to you.
Most people don't actually sing the songs but a few of us have used this initiative started by @ablaze to perform a 3 song set once a week.
I believe you have all week to make the post ,it doesn't have to be on a Tuesday just mention which week the post is for in the title , so this week its week 65.
Use the tags ttt or threetunetuesday and mention @ablaze in the post and the judges will find your post.
Each week a winner is picked to receive some shares of hive basic income , I'm not totally sure how the basic income thing works but its nice to be rewarded if your post wins :).
Okay I think I can start doing that and schedule a Week 66 submission for next Tuesday! Maybe I will do 2 covers and an original... for as long as I have originals! Hopefully by the time I run out I can try and write something new!
Folk songs are really beautiful on the guitar. I enjoyed them..
Your level lowered and you are now a Red Fish!
Support the HiveBuzz project. Vote for our proposal!
I used to sing, about 5-6 years ago. I stopped singing afterward...
Ah yes indeed, great to have you back and sharing some great stories that intersperse your tunes, not everyone can do that well, but you have the lilt to pull it off and always have something interesting to say.
I really enjoyed this trio of tunes, especially the Rising of the Moon, which is one I have heard many times before, but not as many times as "Tell me Ma when I get home". An excellent tribute to the Clancy brothers, good on ya.
The Clancy Brothers. Class acts. They are from a town near myself. Great three songs there . Mountain dew is great and I'll tell me ma. I would say they were roasting with the Aran jumpers in the studios. 😁
