Our Irish Childhood

This afternoon, I decided to raid my house's hidden tape collection in search of Phil's Tape, the legendary compilation prepared by Phil, my brothers' and my smotheringly Irish babysitter (who, years later, would give me an alarm clock and a box of condoms as graduation presents). And lo, there was the case, with Phil's old handwriting! Each song detailed in impossible-to-read script. But no tape.

This is where YouTube and being unemployed come in. I've managed to recreate Phil's Tape as a YouTube playlist (minus two songs which I could not find). Side 2 of the original tape begins after "Thought I'd Died and Gone to Heaven" by Bryan Adams. Simply click "Play All" and live a Gumbiner childhood.

And below, a Scottish folk song, which is somehow appropriate.
