Paddy & Tom C. were here earliest. When the 4 started singing together they worked sometimes for the Guthrie Children's Fund doing concerts at a small proscenium-arch theater in Gr. Vill. Ed McCurdy also sang there. At one point (in the late '50s?) the 3 Clancys were in a production of Behan's THE QUARE FELLOW at Circle In The Square. (Could have been as late as '61?) The world lost a fabulous laugh when Tom Clancy died. I sat on his lap a few times as a 7 & 8 yr. old, and that laugh came up from his heels and rumbled warmly in his chest on it's way to his throat/mouth/head. Paddy was very gentle & kind. And I loved the poetry too. The basic position the group took was that singing is a pleasure and a way to tell stories which are important--a healthy thing to do on all counts. Truth is true, and lasts a long time.                      Tw
