Hey you lovely Irish people in Clare - Is my friend's cousin/family 'Christy Barry' still playing music in the pubs? Havent seen him/them in 40 yrs!! Went hitch hiking around the area (also guests of the Hogans in Inagh - my friends relatives)

Im actually looking for the story (if there is one) behind some songs in a piece called Highland Sequence - I have the 'story' behind 3 of the medley (Jack broke da prison door' - but not 'Sleep sound ida Mornin' ' - Just wanted a little introduction when the sax choir im in plays this Highland reel - Not sure how to find out the stories behind these tunes - we mostly play other types of music (Bach, swing, some arranged by one of the sax players etc) Cheers - Lise Sharkey   liseernie@yahoo.co.uk
