On this day Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in Salzburg, Austria in 1756; as was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson aka Lewis Carroll in Cheshire, England in 1832. Quite a thing to be remembered centuries later!

In fact, there has never been an NYPD choir (until now). In The Pogues' video, the NYPD Pipes and Drums Band stood in; since they didn't know "Galway Bay", they sang the "Mickey Mouse March" instead.
Apparently, the boys of the NYPD Choir have never sung "Galway Bay" until now.

Epic - The Irish Immigration Museum have made the video of them singing it and are donating €1 for every view to Dublin Simon Community, a cause close to Shane’s heart.

Sometimes I feel a bit self-conscious about following U.S. politics as closely as I do, as a Canadian. But its ripples are so widespread! It's been 55 years since Trudeau Sr. dropped his "sleeping with an elephant" line, and, yep, we are still "affected by every twitch and grunt."
