Thought I ought to let all you eager Mudcatters know that the brand new CD by our own "Liam's Brother" (Dan Milner) and Bob Conroy has landed in Folk-Legacy's warehouse (that's what we call the cellar of our old barn of a place). It's a GREAT record of songs, ballads, and tunes created by the Irish who came to this country, and it got here just in time for you to honor St. Patrick with its music. Included are two of the finest examples of Irish-American balladry I've ever heard: "The West Rutland Marble Bawn" (about quarrying white marble in Vermont - learned from Margaret MacArthur) and "Scovill's Rolling Mill" (telling of the dangerous work at the "pickle tubs" -- acid baths used in the brass industry of Waterbury, Connecticut -- collected from former U. S. Congressman John Monagan by Jeremy Brecher).

Take a look and give a listen at FOLK-LEGACY. Hope this clickie works; I've lost my Joe Offer instruction sheet!
