too late for this, but Mike wrote this song for Danny O'Flaherty after seeing him at Mystic and later in New London... Cedar and Oak about the currachs used for fishing and now racing. CEDAR AND OAK Cedar and oak, canvas and tar That’s how you build a currach, To build a boat as your fathers before, And to set it upon the wide water. There’s many the song of a fisherman’s life, And many a story of a fisherman’s wife, Who scans the horizon from morning ‘til night; And when darkness descends, she hangs out the light. Danny tweaked it and recorded it, but still used Mike's tune and chorus I'll send you more later
