Chuck Rogers died on March 14, 2014 near Scranton, PA. He was 82. He wrote some great songs, including "Sons of Molly, better known as The Ghosts of the Molly Maguires" and "Barefoot in Gettysburg", a song about Robert E. Lee's attack on Gettysburg during the Civil War. ( there was a shoe factory in the city.)
After Sons of Molly was released in 1968, Paramount Pictures released a movie about the Molly Maguires in 1970 and sued "the Irish Balladeers" to prevent them from playing Sons of Molly. After a while, they were permitted to play their song again.
Chuck, as the songwriter never got around to copywriting his song.   

At the 1988 Ancient Order of Hibernians National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio, County Mayo Irish Band performed the song as a part of our show. After the set, we were approached by some Hibernians from Scranton who invited us to do a show in their hometown. A month later we were performing in Nativity Hall in Scranton. After that show we were invited to the Hibernian Hall for a jam session and some drinks with some of the members of "the Irish Balladeers".   We asked for permission to sing and record the song, and someone that night gave us verbal permission to.
There are currently 20 or more different bands on YouTube with versions of Sons of Molly/Ghosts of the Molly Maguires. Some have multiple videos.
