Thread Name: Tune Req: Lament of an Irish Immigrant
Subject: RE: Lament Of An Irish Immigrant
I am in the process of starting a web page for real audio song files to be used with at least a few of our threads. It is very much in a beginning stage, but it is far enough along to be of use. Just don't expect too much. Go to My unfinished web page for a recording of The Irish Emigrant by John McCormack from 1928. I also have a couple of recordings from the Coot From Tennessee thread, and some related pictures. The song files are of the downloadable type, so just click on the link and go on about your business until the song loads. If you are unable to get a file to load properly, send me a personal message, and I will send it via email.

I don't intend to make this a site for the general public, just us. How much I put up there depends on whether the group sees it as a valuable resource. I WILL be putting up sources where the recordings can be bought eventually. Naturally, many of them will be available from your friendly Mudcat/Camsco/Folk Legacy dealers!

And now . . . back to the Lament of the Irish Emmigrant.
