In 1846, thousands of Irish immigrants joined the US army and were sent to invade Mexico. Dubious about why they were fighting a Catholic country, and fed up with mistreatment from their Anglo-Protestant officers, hundreds of Irish deserted and joined forces with Mexico. They were lead by John Riley of Galway, Ireland. They called themselves the St. Patrick's Battalion...the San Patricios. Toward the end of the two-year conflict, 50 San Patricios were sentenced to be hanged as traitors. Many Americans regard these men as traitors, but Mexicans see them as heroes, honoring them every Sept. 12. In 1993, the Irish began their own ceremony to honor the St. Patrick's Battalion in Clifden, Galway, Riley's hometown.. + Informações

I have been waiting for Black 47 to cover this song since I first heard the original by Davy Spillane a few years ago on Larry Kirwan's radio show on SiriusXM radio... Well, its now out on the bands new CD "Bankers & Gangsters", and of course has shot to the top of my favorite song list... I went out to see them down at the Stone Pony last night, and when they played it (I had a notion they would), I had to tape it as it was the first time hearing it live... And it was great! Check the band out at Black47.com to pick up the album, and Larry's new book "Rocking the Bronx" Ps Larry gave us the audience permission to tape his show... + Informações

Larry Kirwan and the boys perform "That Summer Dress" from their "Bankers and Gangsters" cd on the vessel "Half Moon" cruising the East River on a spectacular NYC evening. August 28, 2010. Recorded with the standard Flip Mino, edited with Studio 11.1. "Bells" back at ya Larry. Lyrics: I don't know why it fell apart. I was too young, you were too smart. I guess you knew it was going nowhere right from the start. But your memory brings a smile, every once in a little while, Your sheer craziness electrified my heart.. Chorus: That summer dress, and your kiss of fire at my door. That summer dress, it spent most of August on my floor. That summer dress, and your spark of desire, at my door. That summer dress, it spent most of August on my floor. I know your sensibility. You always wanted to be free. No one was gonna change you darling. I wasn't gonna be the one to try. But I think of you now and then, Wonder if you ever found the one Who could satisify your electrifying desire. (chorus) All that long July I watched you smile as you passed by. I knew what you were thinking Especially when you were drinking. Come the heat of August You and that that new summer dress Did you buy it just for me? Don't matter, it came off reasonably easily. (chorus - then back to first verse). + Informações
