    Waking Ned Devine

    One of my favorite off beat independent movies, Waking Ned Devine, ends with The Parting Glass, a Celtic drinking song.

    Until a few years ago it wasn't available online. Now there is another version that is done amazingly well:

    Give a listen, my guess is it may bring a lump to your throat or a tear to your eyes.

    I loved that movie, watched it twice. And yes the song will bring a tear to your eye.

    That was a great movie.
    I laughed myself silly when that phone booth got punted off that cliff. That old lady reminded me of the Wicked Witch of the West in the Wizard of Oz.
    Did you like Saving Grace also?

    Love that movie. I can't bear to watch movies more than once usually, that one I can.

    I didn't see the movie. But man-o-man, that group can sure sing! I must've played that 4 times - just beautiful!
