Nicholas And Steve

When Nicholas Rowe played his violin and Steve Durie sang and played guitar
I felt like I was back again in Dan O Connell's bar
In Knocknagree in Sliabh Luachra more than half a world away
These men are fine musicians and such sweet tunes they play.

That it was their first music session together I struggled to believe
But they assured me it was so and these men don't deceive
One might believe that they had played together for at least twenty years
And the sweetness in their music was so sweet to my ears.

The gifts of song and music are true foods of the soul
And every time I hear them down memory lane I stroll
To the old towns and the old pubs of music dance and song
Amongst mates and with beer and good entertainment the time quickly ticks along.

The singer guitarist and the violinist they blend in well these two
Nicholas Rowe and Steve Durie to song and music true
The gifts they have been blessed with they are prepared to share
And song and music is the valve to ease the heart of care.

One might say for their debut they gave a fine display
And what was for a free performance big money one might pay
And if one had not known it one hardly could believe
That it was a first performance together for Nicholas and Steve.
