Over a century has gone by since ink was put to parchment, and today 'Danny Boy' continues to stir up deep emotion and feelings of Irish national pride. But while it might feel like the traditional song or even the national anthem of Ireland, the lyrics were written in 1910 by an English lawyer – Frederic Weatherly.

Are we doing country or folk? To me they are 2 different genres. I didn't listen to folk music (P, P & M, Woody Guthrie) but have listened to country (Merle, Conway, Loretta, Reba).

I would say there is a whole lot of overlap between country and folk.
