Ulli my sister lives in Kilkeel about 12 miles from Rostrevor so I'll get her to check out the address and see if she can pick up the album. Thanks again Den. |

21 May 02 - 09:39 AM (#714546) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: the spade by Tommy Sands From: GUEST,Martin Ryan I seem to remember hearing a variant of this story about borrowing a fiddle. By the time the borrower gets to the house of the borrowee he has convinced himself that she won't lend it to him - and abuses her as soon as she opens the door! I think it may have been as part of a story by the great Mick Quinn (Michil Ned) of Mullaghbawn. Regards |
