<p>Which generated a response of my own, but that's not important right now.</p>

<p>So.  Ya really wanna know what's in the "frequently played" list in the Armorer's Windows Media Player (at work, when trying to not be interrupted, is when I do most of my listening to music)?</p>

<p>Fine.</p>

<p>Johnny Cash's cover of Nine-Inch-Nail's "Hurt".</p>

<p>And this:</p>

<p>1. The Irish Volunteer  <br />
2. Boys That Wore Green  <br />
3. Opinions Of Paddy Magee <br />
4. The Boys Of The Irish Brigade <br />
5. Paddy's Lament  <br />
6. The Irish Volunteer (Nr. 2) <br />
7. My Fathers Gun <br />
8. Meagher Is Leading The Irish Brigade <br />
9. Free And Green <br />
10. The Harp Of Old Erin & Banner Of Star <br />
11. The List Of Generals <br />
12. Pat Murphy Of Meaghers's Brigade </p>

<p><b><a href="http://www.rykodisc.com/RykoInternal/Features/331/main.html">From this CD</a></b>.  </p>

<p>My favorites are, in no particular order, 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 9.  Okay, there *is* an order, but only of convenience, not preference.</p>

<p>I'm not that much into music designed for dancing, or, more accurately, spastic gyration.  I like songs that tell stories.  I disagree with Don McLean - July 16, 1981 is the Day The Music Died.</p>

<p>And Al Stewart needs to produce some new stuff, rather than just live on his stuff from the 80's...  what, me selfish?</p>

<p>That is all.<br />

        Seeing as how you like songs that tell stories I have to ask: have you checked out Elvis Costello&apos;s later, more mature stuff Hoss?  
Try the song shipbuilding for a starter.

        Thank you (and ry!) kindly sir! Sorry I&apos;ve been so scarce. Work is insane this week. Next week won&apos;t be much better.

*sigh* Why can&apos;t they just fork over the durned paycheck?

        Thanks, John.  As a professional Irishman, a native of the Nutmeg/Constitution State, and a retired Infantry officer, I am ashamed to say that I was unfamiliar with the 9th Connecticut Infantry and its color until &quot;clicking here&quot;.

BTW, My Father&apos;s Gun is the best followed by Honest Pat Murphy.

        I had a terrible time with this meme.  I don&apos;t listen to the same songs on a regular basis- too damn boring.  Instead, I listed 7 of my favorite songs.

Trek tagged me with a new music meme I&apos;m still working on- songs that put you in &quot;the mood&quot;.  hehe... Gotta try them out first, ya know?

        Weeel, the meme was 7 songs I was currently listening to... so, nope.  Not those.  Though I do like &quot;The Patriot Game,&quot; though I&apos;ve not heard their version.
