Subject: RE: Origins: John Hardy
Thanks for the Callahan info, Richie. Yet another myth debunked. It also clears up the spelling issue. I have two recordings of the tune: The Original Dulcimer Players Club (of Michigan) "American Hammer Dulcimer" has the name spelled "Callaghan". On the Highwoods Stringband's "Fire on the Mountain" it's spelled "Callahan". Apparently "Callahan" is correct.

Thanks again,

Bruce
