Ah - Thank you! I knew of his death but didn’t get round to mentioning it here.

A few years ago, I was at a singing session in Crusheen, south of Galway. I sang “My Son in America”, a humorous song about an errant letter. One of the session organisers asked where I had learned it. I told him my source and added “It was written by a man called Alf Mac Loclainn”. “I know!” Sez he “He’s my father!”. Colm still runs the Crusheen session.

Regards.
