Hey Sorcha, if you like finding things for the fun of it. Find me something about William Scanlon, a 19th century Irish ballad singer from Massachusetts who wrote 'Over the Mountain' which Uncle Dave Macon sang. I have looked all over online - Google, Mamma, Intelliseek, Levy, Duke, American Memory, encyclopedias (general and biographical) etc - and came up with zilch. I am beginning to think Charles Wolfe made him up. Help! I haven't been to physical (real) libraries as yet.
