Con Greaney

Con Greaney was a traditional Irish singer from Athea, West Limerick. He was renowned for having a huge store of songs and for having an unadulterated traditional style.[1] Con was particularly associated with the comic singing tradition. One reviewer described him, saying, "Full of fun, good humour and devilment, he was a widely loved character whose animated delivery of songs invariably guaranteed him standing ovations at public performances nationwide."[2]

gollark: I'm glad the staff team has realized the supremacy of Rust over all other languages.
gollark: I think it would make more sense and be less complex if users actually had to send transactions to transfer money, instead of just letting things make them for them and hoping the things can be trusted.
gollark: That also seems bad.
