gillymor,

Earlier in the thread you said:

"On the "If I Should Fall From Grace With God" album they follow up South Australia with "Salmon Tails Up the River" (or possibly the tune for "Red Haired Mary" which is very similar). "

On the new 5 CD set I just bought, the first track on the first CD is called The Kerry Polka. It's the same tune as the one which starts at just under 2 minutes on the South Australia track. It's very similar to Salmon Tails Up the River. The beginning of the Kerry Polka sounds like the beginning of the Scottish tune, Marie's Wedding, the part with the lyrics "step we lightly as we go, heel to heel and toe to toe".

By the way, the 5 CD box set is titled, Just Look Them in the Eye and Say Pogue Mahone.

I read most of what was on the page you linked to (and skipped the part about cruelty to cats). Very interesting information. Thanks.
