Song of the Day: 'Arthur McBride' by Paul Brady


Rosanne Cash revealed a few years ago -- on a podcast and in an Opinionator blog post -- that when John Leventhal included Simon and Garfunkel's "The Only Living Boy in New York" and Paul Brady's version of "Arthur McBride" on a mixtape he made her when they first met, she knew she had to marry him. (And she did!) In addition to approving of her Romeo's music taste -- hence the former's inclusion as today's song pick -- it made me smile because Damian also made me a mixCD early in our courtship, many of whose tunes have turned up as my Song(s) of the Day.
