Another piece of irony here is the age of both Liam Clancy and long time friend and partner, Tommy Makem were both 74 years of age when they passed on.

Also, the Irish Rovers still have a pub called "The Unicorn," located in central Toronto named of course after the song that made them big.

That song was written by Shel Silverstein, who also wrote "On Susan's Floor," (co-written with Vincent Matthews) which is on Gord's "Don Quixote" album.

Shel wrote some really cool tunes and a Google search would reveal lots of interesting stuff about him.

Happy Dec 5th.
