Dick Greenhause has repaired much of the damage Kennedy did, both in making the material available again and in one case, actually offering reparation for recordings Kennedy misappropriated from another collector and sold without permission of either the collector or the singer.
In this case, the singer, an impoverished Irish Traveller who gave us a treasure trove of ballads (including the rarest in the entire repertoire), died of malnutrition in a derelict house in Roscommon.


Anyone mistaking this as a reference to Neillidh Boyle and lambasting Jim about Boyle not dying in Roscommon has not read or understood what was written. Sorry dick.
