Since I joined SmartBrief in 2003, I have produced content on a variety of topics including finance, energy, infrastructure, politics, telecommunications and international development.

I was very excited to see "People Are Crazy" and "Two Fifty to Vigo" made the list of the most-popular songs. What I left out of my story about my night in Ireland discovering the Céilí Bandits is that my wife and I had a traditional Irish band play our wedding and they learned that tune specifically so they could play it for our first dance. It is "our song."

As for "People Are Crazy," that song always moves me because it reminds me of my dad. He is gone now and while I miss doing loads of fun things with him like watching college football bowl games (He would have LOVED that Clemson-Ohio State game), I mostly just miss being able to shoot the you-know-what with him ... 'having us some beers and swapping I don't cares' ... 'like two ol' boys will do.'

Happy New Year everyone. Please have fun and stay safe!
