And you must hear Brendan Nolan's "Far from Home." and Johnny McEvoy wrote a great one..name escapes me...another one Deckman sent me and is on another computer now..what fascinates me the most is the people who were in the famine and wrote it during, right after or perhaps later. Johnny Seoghue?? was written by a famine sufferer. Skibereen later. There is also another version of Skibereen which is quite wonderful. Three grains of corn seems like a Victorian parlor song of the darkest gloom but was based on a true story...a coronor's report actually..from County Mayo..it made its way into a New York and I believe Ohio paper...at least one in obituary section..boy's name was Edward M'Hale. I have written about five or six songs..one about Grosse Isle...it is so sad it does not have a tune...Dan O'Hara was a true person. Nora Garvey was a true person (pride of dunquin)..we need to put names and stories to these bones that are being unearthed. And perhaps some religious ceremonies because they were so afraid of not being buried properly..which of course they were not.
