Decades, as rostasi points out.

By being Irish, dimwit. :rolleyes:

Other famous(ish) Irish performers: Paddy Reilly, Luke Kelly, Daniel O'Donnell, Maire Brennan, Christy Moore...

Whiskeyphiles the lot of them.

Trollheart 10-13-2021 05:26 AM
And proud of it. Though I doubt Daniel O'Donnell could handle a whisky...

Chieftains founder dies
This is very sad news, Trollheart.

In case people aren't aware of his stature, not just as a musician, and not just in Ireland: The Chieftans made many collaborative albums with other folk musicians from France, Spain, Mexico, as well as the big-name stars mentioned in this short "videobituary", if that's a word yet:-

So, yes, Trollheart, people do care. Despite his foibles, Powell cared about the US above anything else; a knee jerk Republican he wasn't.
