DONNIE'S SONG

Here is a tune my dad, Neil O'Connor, recently completed. It pays tribute to an old friend of his, Donnie Poirier, who passed away many years ago. An amazing stepdancer, this tip-of-the-hat to Donnie talks about that hot summer night in 1979 when he jumped on stage with my old man's group and had a couple thousand people mesmerized with only his feet as he danced the night away. The song features one of my dad's lifelong best friends, Eli Boucher, on verse II, and one of my lifelong best friends, Eli Boucher Jr, on verse I. Catch me on the third verse before my dad brings it home at the end.

 

Have a listen, hope you enjoy!
