Hi Tony, I read on the internet that the song "Danny Boy" will be banned for the entire month of March at a New York bar. One reason the owner gave is that the song was written by an English man, not Irish. I heard, many years ago, that the song was written by an Irish man on his way home from a pub one night - he had fallen in a ditch and could not get up, so lay there and composed the song, while waiting for help. Is this not true? Who did write "Danny Boy"? I love that song. Banning it seems very petty to me.
