well, I do know that Steve has a real love for Ireland. He spends many months of
the
year there. I think that Purcell posted something where Earle said that he would
permanently move to Ireland if it weren't for his (Earle's) kids.
The Celtic influence on Steve's song writing
really comes through loud and clear during the live shows.
He also talks about Ireland quite a bit
during the live performances.
Didn't really answer your question, but, oh well..............
