I have always liked the song, and still will no matter who wrote it. One of the most inspiring playings of it I can remember was at our annual retirees Christmas party, a few years ago. One of our group, named Danny, of course, had just died and as all of the retirees and current employees stood hand and hand in silence, someone played a CD recording of "Danny Boy". So, yes. it is a sad song, and is often overplayed, but I still like it.
