Barbara,

We missed you during your little vacation. Hope it was enjoyable.

This is a wonderful song about "transportation" written by Pete St. John, who also wrote "Dublin in the Rare Auld Times". Pete St. John is a stage name, but his real name escapes me just now. Pete did a lot of work with Danny Doyle, and he also wrote "The Galway Rover" "The Ringsend Boatman". A great writer of lyrics. If you take your time with "The Fields of Athenry" and "The Rare Oul Times", you will bring tears to the eyes of Immigrants. Great song.

All the best,

Mick
