Subject: RE: Hard Times Come Again No More
Just moving this up where Uli can find it easier. Note too, that I have switched favorite versions. On Sunday I heard Maura O'Connell,Mary Black, Elanor Shanley, and Tommy Fleming sing it with DeDannan on the Gael Force TV special on PBS. Thrilling performance! Here in Arkansas, at least, it is scheduled for a repeat at 10PM tonight on AETN. Performers also include The Chieftains, Sinead O'Connor,Leahy, Carlos Nunez, Christy Moore, Altan, Sharon Shannon, Clannad, Ashley Mac Isaac and the Riverdance troupe.

The video is available for anyone who is interested at: http://www.psnw.com/~gforce/

. . . Or, in the United States, you can pledge $60-$200 or so to your local PBS station, and get various combinations of cassette, CD, and VHS FREE!
