<p>I'm spreading the message. First heard about WG from a flyer distributed at Sober St. Patrick at Regis H.S. NYC in on March 16 and have talked about the site to family, friends, and fellow members of Amergael, an Irish-American club at the Jersey Shore.</p>

<p>On one of Robbie O'Connell's early albums, he had two songs that touched on the issue of who exactly is Irish. In one, an Irish folk singer is ridiculed by an Irish American as not being Irish, because he doesn't sing "Danny Boy." In another, "Two Nations," an Irish American pipes up about "The Troubles" while sitting in a pub in Ireland and is challenged to a fistfight because he's a Yank and what do Yanks know anyway.</p>

<p>Heritage is heritage, and I think it's great that Irish-Americans like Rovics care enough about their heritage to include it in their art. The beauty of a web site like TNWG is that it's a place for Irish and Irish-Americans to mingle electronically. Thank you, Gerry and all those who make this site possible and thanks to all contributors.

<p>What do you all think of this song, and this artist, who hails from Portland, Oregon?</p>
