The Tunney Family (children, grandchildren and great grandchildren) have been giving illustrated talks about their family's singing life.

They talk about Paddy teaching the song to Dolores one year at Miltown Malbay. He made her go over and over it until she got it right. She did a stunning job on it.

It is interesting to me, however, that neithr Dolores, Paddy or the current Tunney singers sing it the way Brigid Tunney did-going into the major in the high, middle part of the verse. She makes it sound positively Appalachian. Very cool.
