GUEST,Tony Rees	Origins: Jesus Met Woman at the Well/Maid & Palmer (84* d)	RE: Origins: Jesus Met Woman at the Well/Maid & Palmer	01 May 22
Date: 21 Mar 22 - 12:56 AM Just revisiting this topic after a few weeks, and re-reading chapter 10 of Mary Diane McCabe's 1980 M.A. thesis entitled "A critical study of some traditional religious ballads", available at http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/7804/1/7804_4801.PDF , which deals with this ballad... She notes receiving 2 additional tape copies supplied to her as recorded by Tom Munnelly in 1972 and 1973, again from travellers (also named Reilly...), this time in Co. Monaghan and Co. Sligo (McCabe's text versions E and F), the first from Willie A. Reilly (age 35 in 1972) and the second from Martin Reilly, age 73 in 1973, and includes a brief description of their content. She also points to a 1976 recording by the Irish singer and songwriter Liam Weldon who had a fragmentary but different version, stated as being learned from the singing of Mary Duke, also a traveller; this version can be heard on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZZbbxhZVlM. All new information, to me at least!
