Cheryl’s Favorite Irish Songs
I'm half Irish, half Polish... and am very proud of both of my heritages. (Plus I love celebrating both Saint Patrick's Day and Dyngus Day... Ha!) My father is a "Doherty", and comes from a family of 12 brothers and sisters. There were lots of large family gatherings growing up... and sometimes, an Irish song or two. Here are a few my favorites...
I remember my father singing "The Unicorn" song around Saint Patty's Day...
My dad had a great singing voice... "When Irish Eyes are Smiling" was another favorite...
And, I could never leave out "Danny Boy." When Jerry and I got married, we had family and friends sing songs with the word "love" at the reception... My Uncle Fran got up and did a solo of this song... which ends with the words "I love you so".... He's since past away, but what a great memory...
