Subject: RE: Origin: Easy and Slow (Sean O'Casey? D Behan?)
Not to take the thread forward, really, but.... I had a tape in the mid 80's - now gone where all good tapes go - of the poems of Sean O'Casey set to music and played on the uillean pipes. It included, as well as "easy and slow", a Rare time for death in Ireland and Saint Patrick's day in the morning. And I can't recall the piper, singer or anything else about it. Sure it pre-dates the Green Crow Caws. Can anyone out there help, please?
