Relevant to Crofts: http://www.countysongs.ie/song/?songwriter=J%20M%20Crofts I don't know the ultimate source of this information, or whether Crofts is supposed to have written these songs ("The Wild Colonial Boy"!?)or just sung them for some collector. Or even if it's the same Crofts. The Library of Congress Catalog of Copyright entries for 1951 (!) registers a 1951 copyright to Walton's Piano & Musical Instrument Galleries, Dublin. The Catalog gives Crofts's birthdate as 1886 - apparently he was still alive in 1951. Other songs attributed to him in the Catalog, all copyright 1951 by Walton's, are: Bould Thady Quill Eileen McManus How Dear to Me the Hour In the Sweet Lovely Vale of Adair My Dark Slender Boy The Ploughman 'Twas One of Those Dreams
