Is it just coincidental that this song is an ode to "Arthur McBride" and the fact that the original owner of the Cleveland Browns was Arthur "Mickey" McBride?

I looked it up in Google Play music and the first time I've got the Bob Dylan version. Yikes. Then I heard the Paul Brady. Fine song sir. Open G tuning.

So if you open the G string and tune it, good things will happen?

Also called Vestapool tuning D,G,D,G.B.D Great for slide as well.

SPEAKING of tunings, and inside Ghoolie info. Have you guitar players ever tried what is called Nashville tuning? Replace your G string with a 10 or 11 gauge string, and tune up up an octave to G. It give a 12 string effect, but also some other cool sounds. Great for studio work. Record one guiater in standard tuning, another in Nasvhille tuning. Pan one hard left, the other hard right. I promise you, your guitar tracks will be more lush than you can imagine.

I have loved Irish music all my life. When I lived in Ireland I quenched my thirst for this music. Arthur McBride hit me the very first time I heard it. Obviously, it hit Dylan, too. The story, the lyrics, the chord movement, and wow, Paul's voice. he does trills and hammer ons with his voice. I am glad you liked it.

It is indeed coincidental, but oh those were some times.

I've been with her 48 years now. And the money isn't all gone so I guess that explains it.

Yes, plus old mjp saying when I quit looking at the passing parade "you can officially throw dirt on me". OH we've been married for going on 37 years now and happily "cooking" together.
