29.Gary Moore and Phil Lynott, 'Out In The Fields' - a tune for 7.2.2011

As many of you will have seen, Gary Moore, formerly of Thin Lizzy, passed on yesterday.  As he's one of my dad's favourite musicians, I thought I should pay my respects here.  He's probably still best known for his work with Thin Lizzy, so I've selected a song recorded outside of the band but with Phil Lynott.  I wanted to choose something Moore himself wrote, and 'Out In The Fields' tackles the sectarian nature of Northern Ireland, his home nation.  I appreciate the song's sentiments, and I like the way they're conveyed.  RIP, Gary Moore, widely considered as one of the best guitarists to have lived.
