2023 was a magnificent year for music releases, but a harsh one for those whom we lost. The latest major artist we lost was The Pogues’ frontman, Shane MacGowan, who died on November 30th. Folk singer Enda Reilly participated in a procession through Dublin in Shane’s honor and was moved to set a poem he penned to music. I have a feeling that Shane would have enjoyed it.
That closes 2023, dear friends. We begin again tomorrow. Happy New Year!
