My Dad didn't sing, but he did listen to a lot of Beethoven.

My Mother and Grandmother both sang a lot round the house, though my Mother stopped in later years. You only had to say something and they would come up with an appropriate song. I can only remember two for certain now but what they sang was a mixture of traditional and popular songs of the day. The two I remember them singing for sure were

Kerry Dances and
Katie Bairdie

I got a set of words for Katie Bairdie and would love to have words for the Kerry Dances as I still have the tune in my head. The first two lines I remember were

Oh, the days of the Kerry Dances
Oh, the ring of the piper's tune

That's all I remember.
