Subject: RE: ISLE OF INNISFREE
Mystery solved (re posting chords in the right position): if you are posting something that contains html code and text, with the html code for line breaks already in your post, UN-CHECK the "Automatic Linebreaks" box before you post!

I also just discovered the wonderful new "Preview" box. That should help us avoid many a screwed up post!

Mudcat just gets better and better!

PS, Barry, I well remember Carmel Quinn. Wonderful voice! I'm sure she did this song beautifully. And thanks for the info on the lyricist who wrote the words for this song. In previous postings of the lyrics for this song, it says it is based on Yeats's poem, but I really see little resemblance of Farrelly's lyrics to Yeat's words, except for mention of the Isle of Innisfree itself.
