Subject: Clancey Bros. and Makem poem From: Date: 09 Apr 98 - 09:13 PM On the vinal album "The Maken and Clancy Collection", a Shanachie release, on side B, there is a poem between Gentle Annie and Ar Eirinni ne Neosainn Ce Hi. The poem has hauted me for years. Some of the lines are: "And men who had seen her drank deep and were silent, The women were talking whereever she went, Like a bell that has rung or a wonder told slyly And oh, she was the Sunday of every week." The poem does not seem complete on the recording, but is a wonderful intro to the Gaelic song that follows. Anyone know the poem? Richard |

Subject: RE: Clancey Bros. and Makem poem From: Ralph Butts Date: 10 Apr 98 - 06:37 PM For those who have not heard him, Liam Clancy is just about the best poetry reader I have ever heard. No matter whose poem (or spoken song lyric) he is reading, the feeling he can impose is incredible. I recommend a wonderful two-volume video set from the Olympia Theater in Dublin (1991, I think) in which he does several, Yeats and Behan included. Sometimes it's just a little snippet between songs. His "Pegasus" (Patrick Kavenagh) is spell-binding - always brings tears. "An Irish Airman Forsees His Death" (Yeats) reduces me to rubble. See it, hear it - you'll see why..........Tiger |
Subject: RE: Clancey Bros. and Makem poem From: Richard Wright Date: 11 Apr 98 - 02:10 PM Alice; Thanks for the suggestion. I e-mailed them today and we'll see what happens. I'll let you know. Ralph: Any idea where to find the video. Sounds wonderful. Thanks, Richard |
Subject: RE: Clancey Bros. and Makem poem From: Ralph Butts Date: 11 Apr 98 - 02:46 PM Richard...... They're sold separately. The first one I taped from a PBS show, but missed a couple of numbers. Taping quality is OK, with a few problems. The second, I bought at a Clancy concert, so it's complete. They are available from the Clancy website at: http://www.clancymusic.com/ Title: Liam Clancy - In Close Up, vol 1 & 2 ($25 each) They're mostly music, of course, but it's wonderful music. Liam is one of my favorites. If you're interested in (shhh!) copies, b/c me at: rsbassoc@neca.com ........ Tiger |
