My off-the-boat Dad and his siblings and cousins here could sit in the living room and round-robin Irish songs pretty well. It ramped up considerably when the Old Country Irish would visit.
That sounds cool . . . though some of them songs, man. Christ, some of them are depressing.
They are from the west, so a lot of Gaelic. Still depressing, but sounds more like Klingon Delta Blues.
My uncle always said that a song wasn't Irish unless it included drinking and fighting.
