    Theres a old Irish song, sung by mothers during the Anglo-Boer war (1899 - 1902) where mothers sing about wanting the Boers to beat the English, and be free of tyranny, but knowing that the cost of the Boers winning would be the lives of Irish sons forced to go fight the Boers who never did anything against the Irish for the English....
    As a Boer, I always believed there was a kinship between the Irish and Boers of South Africa.

    In America "Dear Old Donegal" is the quintessential immigrant tune. It's not specifically about Irish history. It's about being successful in America, but being homesick for Ireland & dreaming of going back home to Ireland to share their success w/ loved ones. My grandfather loved this song. I would listen to it w/ him, but the entire time I didn't realize what it was about & that he must have been homesick himself. Broke my heart when I finally realized what the song was about, but by then he was gone.

    Oró sé do bheatha bhaile performed by Seo Linn is my favorite all-time Irish rebel tune! That version will put the hackles up on your neck and a tear in your eye. Another version of that song that I love, is Sinead O'Connor performing it. She put some feisty attitude in it with her lyrical phrasing. After all, that's what the lyrics are all about!
    Hail ó Gráinne Mhaol!
    Davey, it would be awesome to see if movie makers would ever make a film about the story of her heroic deeds!
    Keep up the great work, love what you do concerning all things Irish! ☘️🇨🇮💪💥🎵🎶
