GUEST,Martyn Travis	Lyr Add: The Man from Tralee (Martyn Travis) (29)	RE: Lyr Add: The Man from Tralee (Martyn Travis)	09 Jun 09
Hi lads, Still alive and kicking and still writing songs. Wrote the man from Tralee when I was 18 years old (1980 thereabouts!!). The song is about Tommy Switzer who came from Tralee and fished with my father and I, in a boat called the Reaper.That was my first summer full time fishing when I was 13. Incidently I'm still fishing! it was quite a big deal when we heard the news of the Boston Sea Ranger and a lot of people in Dunmore would have known him as well. 'Man from Tralee' is one of the first songs that I wrote and is still requested at my gigs and a good few people at this stage have sung it and made it their own. Thanks for all the interest. Only came across mudcat.org this evening, otherwise I assure you I would have answered sooner. Martyn
