The Mary Ellen Carter is Canadian, actually. In case you'd like to vary your program with more human-reality songs: On the Clancy Bros/Tommy Makem 1st album (The Rising of the Moon) you will find a fine lullaby--"The October Winds". Try to find an original, original copy--unaccompanied. Also, "Nell Flaherty's Drake" is a fine tongue-in-cheek code song, &, possibly on that same album, Makem does a wonderful actual-results-of-war song, "The Wind That Shakes The Barley". Have fun.   Tw
