EXAMPLE: "Liam Clancy remembers working on technique: "Brennan on the Moore was a famous old ballad but it was sung mournfully. We were in this apartment in Greenwich Village and I was sitting on this couch that had springs in it. And I said 'Let's try and get the sound of ... if we could belt it out like the highwaymen.
