Tap here to listen to Julia Piper on The Early Edition and Bob Bacon singing Danny Boy on The Max Ferguson Show.

Weatherly:Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are callingFrom glen to glen, and down the mountain side. But come ye back when summer's in the meadow,Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow,It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow,—Oh, Danny boy, O Danny boy, I love you so!
