[Dixielandjazz] Irish Dixieland tunes

[Mike Durham]

Did anyone suggest "If You're Irish, Come into The Parlour" or "I'm Looking 
Over A Four-Leaf Clover", or the famous "Molly Malone"? Or "Mother Machree"? 
Or "Who Put The Benzedrine In Mrs Murphy's Ovaltine"? (now THERE'S a 
title!).

Say goodnight, Gracie...

Mike
