The Irish Rovers, Wasn't That A Party

Looking back on the past 50 YEARS, with all the fans and all the old friends, there's only one thing to say. WASN'T THAT A PARTY

'The cat was talking back' still gives me the giggles! Such a fun song.

My father met these guys at our local Legion way back in the 80's and they asked him to bring his family to the concert that night. We had stage seats and saw the entire performance. I was a young guy but my big sister went to the local pubs with them that night. With my fathers permission. She said they where the perfect dates ( all of them) and when she wanted to go home they all walked he out of the pub and put her into the taxi for her trip home. Today I still wish I was 2 years older so I could have gone along to the pub.

I remember as a kid seeing these guys on CBC all the time, we even sang Puff th Magic Dragon in grade school as part of music class. Thanks for the memories.
