Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Eileen McManus / Eileen McMahon
Around 1957, my father purchased a 78 rpm record (in Manhattan) of "Kevin Barry"/"Eileen McMahon" by the fine singer Anne Greehy with, I believe, the Jackie Roche Trio. He bought it for me to use in a high school presentation of Ireland. I loved that record and played it frequently until it was destroyed by a drunken college roommate in 1961. The lyrics of Eileen McMahon were the same as posted by Mr. Bracken.

I will keep checking ebay for this disk. I don't know what happened to Ms Greehy. I think she was born c. 1939 and I hope she is alive and well.
