I recorded this with Mark Dennehy some years ago in stoneybatter.
it was late..you can hear that on the track. I wanted accordion and Mark said he knew just the guy. a few phone calls later and I'm told that Maddog is on his way up from Co.Clare and will be with us before 2am.
4.30 am in comes Maddog.
some stories of how he slept in bushes and hitched his way to Dublin with his accordion.
Mark goes to the toilet and I see from the control room that Maddog has got his accordion tangled up in his piercings and chains... he's stuck like a spider in a web. it took the three of us another 30 mins to untangle him from his chains.
a lovely memory of one of the best sessions I ever did.
Maddog of course was magic ...

lyrics

be glad to be able to help somebody
be glad to be able to help
be glad to be able to help somebody
one day you might need it yourself.

I know a woman who lives down the road
always asks me for help
but now the phone rings all the time
and I've no time for myself

be glad to be able to help somebody
be glad to be able to help
be glad to be able to help somebody
one day you might need it yourself.

at first it stated out fine
I was happy to help
but now the phone rings all the time
and I've no time for myself

be glad to be able to help somebody
be glad to be able to help
be glad to be able to help somebody
one day you might need it yourself.

ring ring...dring dring..
brian can you run down the post office and pick up the post...

be glad to be able to help somebody
be glad to be able to help
be glad to be able to help somebody
one day you might need it yourself.
