about

The Green and The Grey (Wedel) IMRO

I wrote this thinking about my youngest sister
away in Ireland while I was running around NYC in 1987
Ireland Green, Grey and Blue...
I wrote in in some weird, F tuning that Donal Desmond
had shown me a few years earlier...
and that's the key it was recorded in...
These days I play it in G major...
Dee da Diddley Dee!

~This was the third song on the cassette
"The Night John Lynch Lost his Glasses"
that was released in 1989
I still have some copies
if you wanna order some merch?
Check out the merch section

~It was also released in 1997 on a CDLP
entitled
"An Open Kitchen on Princes Street"
on Paddy McNichol's "Rescue Records"

Here's a live video of the song
being performed by Hank Wedel and Roy Buckley
with an all star band of
Eoin Regan, Eleanor Healy, Edel Curtin
Art Lorigan and Ronan o'Snodaigh
at a big barn dance
in Wexford in 2011
