More than you wanted to or needed to know Hi, I'm Loretta. This is my little Prodigals page, which is just part of the grand scheme that is my chaotic webpage. Anyhoo, um, hi! I'm glad you're here! If you're stuck in someone else's frames, click here to break out. Lessee... The Prodigals are a local band that I've been going to see for... omigod, way too many years. I just figured it out and it's kind of amazing. (click on "Irish stuff", left, for more info.) Anyway, they really, really, really kick butt, and also they are very sweet and adorable. They have a few albums out, and I highly recommend in particular their latest two, Go On and Dreaming in Hell's Kitchen. By the way, did you know the name Hell’s Kitchen comes from some Dutch word meaning “rocky place” or something. It sounded a bit like “hell’s kitchen” and it got Anglicanized that way. In any case, the albums are great, so buy the durn things, won’tcha? If you go to a show they'll probably sign it. Especially if you bring a shiny sharpie marker, and ask real nice. Click on the name of any song and you can see the lyrics, which might just be wrong. I can play a bunch of these on Daphne, my guitar, so there are a few chords here, which similarly, might be wrong. I've also gathered some other info on a lot of the songs, like the historical background on them etc., which I'm pretty sure is right. Okay so I’m rearranging things here, because I think it’ll make it easier to deal with. They’re sorted by album. Can you believe that? This is turning into a … fan site. The heck is up with that? Well, what’s done is done, and anything worth having done is worth having done right. Okay, anyway…. Trad songs /covers / new stuff (not on albums): in ::gasp:: alphabetical order! … ?
Dreaming in Hell’s Kitchen songs: Go On songs: From the first album: okay, the Proddys don't sing this, but if you've heard lots of trad Irish songs, you'll probably think it's funny: Denis Leary's Traditional Irish Folk Song Hope that's enough for now since I've got things to do, children, things to do.
