Excerpt from the story Opening Acts:
…For ten minutes or so they just played around, fumbling really, trying to find a bit of harmony, until Shirley yelled over from the bar: “Why don’t youz find yourselves a song in all that noise.”
“Ok, well, that sounds like a request to me,” Martin said, “follow along with me and give us some lyrics, would ya’ son?”
It was only a few minutes after that when they were chiming like church bells, and Bryan was singing:
And I heard ye now/
come calling to me/
from the abbey ground/
beyond the sea/
and the companion cries/
of the wailing shes/
who’d lost their loves/
in the troubled eighties.
–Danny Grosso
