I have created this thread for people who knew my Father to share stories, I titled it A man for all Weathers because that is an accurate description for come rain or shine Wind and Snow he was always ready and willing to share a Song or tell an old story or three.. It would be easy for me to say i have an advantage because i grew up with my fathers stories but sadly as a young boy chap growing up my mind was set on more selfish pursuits so in light of that fact i am at a distinct disadvantage.. I can honestly say that i can remember every Festival and Folk Club he took me to but alas i was always too afraid to get up and sing but that all changed when i moved to Ireland ,,Maybe i felt safer in a more spontaneous environment like an Irish Pub where they would lock you in after the time Bell call.. Ahh Emmett Spiceland gave me an whole new lease of life..

If anyone has recordings of my Father or Photos or absolutely anything they would like to share Songs and Stories as i am trying build a bigger picture of my father which i can then piece together and share.. Thanks a Million.
