Martin Ryan	Origins: Molly Malone (90* d)	RE: Help: History for Molly Malone please	22 Dec 99
LaMarca Frank's version is great, alright! That said, I'm still sceptical about the song's origins.Frank disclaimed all knowledge of them in the first edition of his "Songs of Dublin" - and I've never heard him say otherwise in recent years. I'll ask when next we meet. And before anyone mutters darkly in their beer - I agree completely that the origins don't make a blind bit of difference to the quality of the song. I'm just curious! Regards p.s. George: The programme was probably in Pat Feely's series "The Song and the Story", of which I heard some but not all. Many were excellent - some were highly speculative, IMHO.
