Right! I'll second this. It's an easy-ish tune, and once you know it,
you don't *have* to play it, but you *Can* play it if someone requests it.
(and someone will, believe me. Personally, I *hate* "Danny Boy," but I get
requests for it all the time. Many Rennies have a well-justified hatred
for "Greensleeves," yet most of us have had more requests for it than any
other song out there. This often contributes to the player's disgust with
it, especially after the 199th time on a given Saturday.)
Comes down to the old "give the people what they want" bit...

deliberately forgot it)
