Great Music Monday-Kilkelly

This week's selection is one I was inspired to do after the experience of last night, but that is another post for either later tonight or later this week.

Anywho, this week's GMM song is one that I originally heard on a CD by Father, Son, and Friends. The song is called "Kilkelly" and is based on a series of letters sent from a father living in Kilkelly, Ireland to his sons John and Michael who had come across the ocean to America. The letters cover the time period from 1860 to 1892.

The video for the song is actually of Robbie O'Connell with the Clancy Brothers. A little different version than I am used to, but a still just as moving.
