Sir:

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, when I was but a child, my father, John Townley helped produce(?)an album by your band The Flying Cloud. I must admit the album was one of several from my childhood that has had a far reaching effect on me. The particular two that stand out are your arrangement for "Tibby Dunbar" and "Jack Orion". In fact I am now in a band myself and we sing those two in an Irish bar here in Chapel Hill N.C.. I wish I could find a recording of the album again, but the only copy I had was vynal and it wore out a long time ago. Do you know where to get a copy?

If Dan can't come up with a better alternative, I have a poor quality cassette tape of those two cuts (and a few more, but not the whole album) and could make a cassette copy for you. Send an address to me via pm, assuming my never-used at-home Mudcat account will receive messages.

Hello Niall,

Glad you enjoyed the recording. "Jack Orion" was a first take as I recall, which was pretty good for a song that lasted 6:40. I always preferred "Tibbie Dunbar" sung by the guy I got it from.

If you stop into a Borders or Barnes & Noble bookstore within the next few days, you might find the current (April) issue of Irish Music magazine. There's an interview with me and a few references to The Flying Cloud.

I suggest you go to the top of this page and click on "Membership." Once you become a member (good idea), you can send me a "Personal Message" and I can help you with this.

All the best,
Dan
