Subject: RE: Folklore: Cornelius Lyons, Irish Harper
Agreed! I'm really happy that old harp music is still so much a part of musical life today, and constantly being reinterpreted on other instruments.

BTW, mg, another fact about Lyons which I neglected to mention is that he was the son of a schoolmaster - which no doubt was one reason that he could read and write when so many others of that time couldn't.
