Very sad to say that the great singer Tommy Makem, the man who wrote "4 Green Fields", has died of cancer in his New Hampshire home. #I suspect like many others, my first exposure to Irish music was through the Clancey Brothers and though the music has grown a lot since their heyday, I still have a #fondness for a lot of that stuff and profound respect and gratitude for Mr. Makem. #A solid performer of great integrity, he will always be admired and missed.
