I can not bear to put this out without him on it as the person who wrote it..Tomas (I will have to get his full name later) I believe wrote it in the famine as he was trying to persuade Johnny Seoighe to let him into the workhouse. Tomas and his family died. It would be awful to not have this song on this CD. It is almost too late, but if someone who is an Irish speaker and of Irish descent (because this is for our ancestors) and I think let's say male...has access to a digital recorder and a quiet place and knows what buttons to push, please try to get me a recording immediately...probably can't do big files like WAV although Iwill give you address of sound engineer who can upload. My email is mgarvey@wsu.edu but only for this. mg |

Is that what you meant? However, since apparently a famine victim wrote it, it seems the least we can do is include it and apologies to the other family, who certainly were also affected. mg |
