Liam and I were writing at the same time, so I didn't see his post at first. I forgot to mention Boys of the Lough. My older brother told me about their recordings, and looking back, I see a large gap in what I could listen to because of my poverty at the time - no stereo, no money for records or tapes, and it was not something one would hear on the radio in this little town. Thanks for these perspectives. I'd like to see this thread continue with more.
