There has been a lot of discussion and speculation about what happened in Baltimore. Now, let me bring you the latest facts(from one who has played many gigs in Baltimore, and the adjoining islands Shirkin and Cape Clear). Firstly, there still an inordinate number of O'Driscolls around. Secondly, there are still an inordinate number of Brit settlers about. But I have to say I have seen no sign of corsairs from the Barbary coast.
