She Begged for More......Lyon-Healy had "Bunting's Ancient Music of Ireland" avaliable for $40.oo or so, as well as "The Harp of Ireland" by Grainne Yeats ( WB Yeats' granddaughter, I believe) for $12.oo The latter "includes chapters on harper-composers, with special attention to Turlough O'Carolan." 1-800-621-3881, Lyon & Healy Accessory Dept., open 8:00 AM-4:30 PM Central time. Or try the Sylvia Woods Harp Center at 1-800-272-HARP(4277) - she had Yeats' book listed at $9.95. Check her website at www.harpcenter.com - she's got lots of dandy harp music. There's also "The Complete Works of O'Carolan" which includes a "concise biography and several facsimile reproductions" from Melody's Traditional Music, 1-800-893-4277, website www.folkharp.com - regards - celtic harper
