Hate the song. Whats wrong with that?  Your just another “dont say anything bad” guy that gets offended by someone elses opinion. You like danny boy, I hate it. Such is life

I’m not offended that you hate Danny Boy but am offended by your misuse of “your”.

Do you hate Auld Lang Syne, too?  Asking for a friend/husband.  Slainte from this Irish girl!  ☘️ 

Espani Cani (sp), Little Old New York, Magnificent 7. Yeah tradition suck.... Sure Danny Boy was heard in the York, PA parade today as played by a corps. And that arrangement sounds really close to the 27th version 🙄

At least nothing got deleted from this thread that I know of😈

Seriously, if this is the only thing you can think of to post, don't bother.  We'll all be better off!

It took me while, but I found the Ignore User button. I was determined.

Creates an account just to say he doesn’t like Danny Boy. .... and gets you to take the bait and respond. I’m not sure which is worse.

I cringe every time I hear that song. 27 must have played that song for 27 years.  God does that suk

Well I love “Danny Boy,” I still miss 27th, and wish 27th had the opportunity to perform it for 27 years. Sadly they only had 19 competitive seasons. 

Happy St. Patrick’s to everyone and as my Great Uncle Bartley, a proud native of Donegal used to say “May you be in Heaven a half an hour before the devil knows your dead.” Truthfully while I had an Uncle Bartley from Donegal, I don’t think he ever said that, but Happy St. Patrick’s Day anyway.

" Embracing all cultures ................ "

I find this to be a rather profound gesture, coming as it does from a prominent African-American drum corps personality, honoring the diversity that has traditionally characterized the activity.

Reading the NY Times tribute to Hal Blaine, the great session drummer who recently passed, reveals that he was a Jewish kid who learned to play in a Catholic parish corps in Hartford. Maybe that explains how he could rock the Beach Boys recordings and the Ronettes sessions.

We can rightly point to Drum Corps as one thing our society actually got right.

Happy St. Patrick's Day. Enjoy the parades.

Off topic but there was a good interview with Hal Blaine Friday on NPR’s Fresh Air.
