Soundtrack of His Life (2)

So tonight, my friend and I were in an Irish bar with an Irish band.  I begged Verly to go ask them to play "Four Green Fields" and because she is far more courageous than me, she did it for me.  I didn't even have to tell her why I wanted them to play the song.  She walked up and said "Four Green Fields" and he just nodded his head and then played it two songs later.  It's on his "Soundtrack of His Life."  And I really believe that although it's about suffering of a totally different type, place, and time, that it must have resinated for him and his family's heritage.  It was hard hearing it live for the first time since he left me, but I am completely grateful for it, and I owe it to Verly.
