Seamus Origins: Origins of Irish and Irish American Song (12) RE: Origins: Origins of Irish and Irish American Song 02 Dec 02


Bob,
Thanks for the line. I'm always eager for another book...though I admit I'd normally avoid the title you've suggested. It's rare to find notes of any sort, and it always the same musty stuff. I will certainly check it out...

Any old Iron? Um...I don't get it.

In regards to the "Tart with the Cart"..
I ran into a few people during the weekend who maintained that Molly Malone was a real character, down to the fish basket. They pointed out that her grave was found behind St. John's Church, complete with burial records.

Turns out the whole story was fabricated by opponants of the Civic Offices in Dublin, which affected not only hundereds of grave sites, but also a dig of an early Viking settlement...

Then again, I could be wrong... *G*
