Once upon a time there was a tavern Where we used to raise a glass or two Remember how we laughed away the hours And dreamed of all the great things we would do. Those were the days my friend We thought they'd never end We'd sing and dance forever and a day We'd live the life we choose We'd fight and never lose For we were young and sure to have our way. La la la la... Then the busy years went rushing by us We lost our starry notions on the way And if by chance we'd meet outside the tavern We'd smile at one another and we'd say.. Just tonight I stood outside the tavern Nothing seemed the way it used to be And in the glass I saw a strange reflection Was that lonely fellow really me. And through the door I heard familiar laughter I saw your face and heard you call my name Oh my friend we're older but no wiser For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

And then at 15 I led music for 700 girls at a Lion's Club weekend and a 21 year old woman was playing an autoharp in her hotel room with the door open. I walked in and learned autoharp in 2 hours. I need autoharp tabs for this song. Mary Hopkins was part of my birthday when I was 11. I still the piano music and the album.

The world’s most legendary rock stars are amateurs next to Liam Clancy and Tommy Makem. It takes a small army to help Mick Jagger be Mick Jagger on stage. Remove him from that environment and he’s probably not much fun to watch. The thing about Tommy and Liam is that they were actors before becoming professional musicians. I think they understood that the product they were selling was themselves, and in a sense, they developed and played their characters with total commitment. People have often said that Liam could read the phone book and it would be entertaining. That’s hyperbolic but everyone understands what that means. Liam could lose his guitar at the airport, his accompanist could get stuck in traffic, have no books of poetry on hand, with a showtime only a few minutes away and no chance of cancellation. Somehow, I just know Liam could take a situation like that and turn it on its head. He would win the audience over one way or another and no one would go home disappointed. He’d tell stories, sing a cappella, and have the crowd singing along with him. Tommy could do that too. I’m telling you: those guys were the best there ever was. Sure they had off nights like everyone else. There are stories about Liam being drunk on stage and forgetting words. But on a good night, they were masters.

"Those Were the Days" is a song credited to Gene Raskin, who put a new English lyric to the Russian romance song "Дорогой длинною" (Romance transliteration "Dorogoy dlinnoyu", literally "By the long road"), composed by Boris Fomin (1900-1948) with words by the poet Konstantin Podrevsky. It deals with reminiscence upon youth and romantic idealism. It also deals with tavern activities, which include drinking, singing and dancing. Mary Hopkin's 1968 debut single of "Those Were the Days", which was produced by Paul McCartney of the Beatles, and arranged by Richard Hewson, became a number one hit on the UK Singles Chart and on the Canadian RPM Magazine charts. The song also reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100, behind "Hey Jude" by the Beatles. It was number one in the first edition of the French National Hit Parade launched by the Centre d'Information et de Documentation du Disque.[4] The song was featured on the US version of the debut album Post Card. Early history[edit] Georgian singer Tamara Tsereteli (1900-1968) and Russian singer Alexander Vertinsky made what were probably the earliest recordings of the song, in 1925[5] and 1926[6] respectively. The song appears in the 1953 British/French movie Innocents in Paris, in which it was sung with its original Russian lyrics by the Russian Tzigane chanteuse Ludmila Lopato. Mary Hopkin's 1968 recording of it with Gene Raskin's lyric was a chart-topping hit in much of the Northern Hemisphere. On most recordings of the song, Raskin is credited as the sole writer, even though he wrote only the later English lyrics (which are not an English translation of the Russian lyrics) and not the music.

Stolen Russian song. Although many believe that it is a Russian folk composition, its author is known, his name is Boris Ivanovich Fomin, he was a Russian composer and musician, born on April 12, 1900 in St. Petersburg. The original name of the composition was "The Way Far Away", ("Dorogoj dlinnoju"), and the first performance was recorded by Tamara Cereteli (1925), but outside Russia the composition first became known in the performance of Alexander Vertinsky (1926) and most likely is that Raskin heard exactly that version. kzitem.info/news/bejne/mKZ6uq2tfIuUaI4

While I liked Liam Clancy a lot, he had some wonderful stories about his days in Greenwich Village . He tells of his friendship I would say with Bob Dylan, before the infamous electric guitar incident at the Newport folk festival. I understand Bob Dylan liked his authetic folksy style and his playing of the nine string guitar. Liam Clancy in his later years told of how he was taken in (and perhaps lost his innoncence) by this extraordinary wealthy anonymous wealthy woman. These kind of stories would not have gone down well in the staunchly conservative Catholic Ireland of the 1960's. Getting back to the song, I have to say that it belongs to Mary Hopkins. She has that wonerful voice, and beautiful sixties look.
