with age comes wisdom...listen to him

Back in '85 or so, Paul Harvey did one of his "rest of the story" segments regarding how 'Danny Boy' came to be written. The story was so moving and his rendition so perfect, that I literally was getting teary eyed as he told the story:

'and before the first snows fell in the mountains, the second son answered the call of the pipes. And before the first flowers of spring had reached their bloom, another star was hung in the window...'

I related that story at a dinner party and two other guys there said they heard the story and they to found themselves getting teary eyed.

I have listened to Paul Harvey and found him to be wonderfully insightful in many ways. But I stand by what I have said, it is time that he retire.
