The Text is plural. Which is not simply to say that it has several meanings, but that it accomplishes the very plural of meaning: an irreducible (and not merely an acceptable) plural.
-Roland Barthes, From Work to Text
This song makes me feel guilty of not having known about this group earlier - I discovered them today while looking for The Dubliners' cover of "Rocky Road to Dublin". I've heard some unpleasant things about the climate in Ireland, but the music they make should more than make up for it.
"The Little Beggarman", as sung by The High Kings.
And here is the same song by Buddy Greene, the harmonica guy from yesterday. If you thought his performance at Carnegie Hall was mighty impressive, you haven't seen this one yet.
