Subject: RE: Can you ID this Irish Song?
Thanks guys
Anglo I can sympathise re the frustration at trying to find decent printed material. I spent ages scouring music stores and "Irish Festivals" trying to track down a copy of "The Wind That Shakes the Barley", (I'm informed it is, if not the only collection to feature the song 'Donegal Danny', it is one of the very few). One day out of pure desperation I decided to check my local library (Hinckley for those interested and those that know will understand my lack of expectation as it's about as much use as chocolate teapot).. boy was I thrilled to see it had one listed at some remote branch or other. That soon passed when the assistant rang up to save it for me, only to find they had "lost" it.

And yes I am still looking...

Glad you liked the formatting Noreen.. I was trying to be clever and use the 'pre' command instead of having to hack in all the line breaks at the end of each line, but as I cut and pasted it out of an email I forgot that wouldn't have any carriage returns in it... c'est la vie.

Cheers
Mick
