Boy! Is my face red! It was Andy Cooney, not Andy Rooney. _Irishcolleen45@aol.com_ (mailto:Irishcolleen45@aol.com) writes: Hi listers, One of my favorite Irish songs is Irish Soldier Boy. I was at an Andy Rooney concert tonight and Andy said that Irish Soldier Boy was written in Rockaway Beach in Queens, NY in the 1960s. It was in the 1960s that I first heard about it but I wasn't into Irish music then. I tried a "Google" search and could not find a copyright date on the song. Does anyone have any info on that song? Thanks. Nora Hopkins FitzGerald Hopkins - Castlebar, Co. Mayo/New York City Grant - Drumboniff, Co. Down/NYC
