"I'VE ALWAYS BEEN CRAZY"
I've Always Been Crazy
from The Waylon Sessions by Shannon McNally
https://shannonmcnally.bandcamp.com/track/ive-always-been-crazy
Shannon McNally is my favorite of the recent country music stars. "I've Always Been Crazy" is one of her better songs. "Black Irish" seems to be her best received album up to that point. I lean toward "The Waylon Sessions."

In Part 1 of our "Black Paddywhackery" podcast, we learned about the origins of the Irish people, and asked why so many Americans self-identify as "Black Irish", believing themselves descended from survivors of the Spanish Armada which wrecked off the west coast of Ireland.
Having shown the flaws in this folk history, in Part 2 of "Black Paddywhackery" we explore the true origins of those who call themselves "Black Irish".

I've definitely had better days but taking comfort in a lot of the #blackfriday posts today. Learning, being inspired and feeling connected. Thank you all!
A suitably melancholic singalong fave for my late entry. #ThinLizzy #WhiskeyInTheJar.
