Thomas Westendorf (1875): I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen This popular song is now widely considered as an Irish ballad, but was written in 1875 by a German-American, Thomas Westendorf. It has subsequently been recorded by hundreds of singers, from Elvis and Bing Crosby to every Irish ballad singer who ever lived -- it's particularly associated with Joseph Locke.

Thanks Martin, I like the images you use in your vids. I like this song, it seems very German or maybe Austrian, and beginning of the 20th century.
Your recording sounds very authentically, Martin.
