I have not heard Johnny Cash's recording of Danny Boy, but I'll bet it is soulful! Christoph, how exciting it must have been to hear John O'Conor in his student days and predict great things for him. He is still not a "household" name here, which puzzles me. Thanks for your comments, Susie and Christoph. I have not heard Johnny Cash’s recording of Danny Boy, but I’ll bet it is soulful!
