Subject: RE: Art Thieme's 'On The River' - Auction
Lost Jimmy Whalen is probably the most classicaly Irish Irish-American song I've heard and Art does a really fine job with it.

Frank Harte wrote me about Lost Jimmy Whalen a few months back and I sent him what was a spruced-up copy of Art's version. I'm sure he's singing it now. THis would not be the first Irish-American song to make an Eastbound transatlantic trip.

All the best,
Dan Milner
