06 Apr 01 - 02:21 PM (#434741) Subject: RE: Help: HELP WITH IRISH FOLK BALLADS, 'PLEASE' From: Jimmy C Hi UF - as Mario , search the Digitad and Forum search as Mario suggests. here is a little clip of what is in there for Admiral William Brown. MAYOMAN PROFOUNDLY INFLUENCED COURSE OF WORLD HISTORY Illustrious and amazing career of Admiral Brown Admiral William Brown, the hero of Garcia, Montevideo and Los Pozos, is acknowledged as 'the father of Argentina's Navy.' In the Rocoloea Cemetery in Buenos Aires there is a memorial with the inscription: "William Brown was born on 22nd June, 1777, at Foxford, County Mayo." In passing, it may be of interest to mention that his uncle was Parish Priest of Foxford, and suffered arrest for alleged complicity in the '98 insurrection. Escaping from the barracks where he was detained, he went into hiding from his enemies, sheltering in Glanduff and other places from time to time in evasion of the pursuit that was hot on his tracks.His memory is commemorated in his native place, Foxford, by the Foxford Memorial Hall named after him. So that from TerraDel Fuego to Foxford, the name of Admiral William Brown is honoured and his fame is perpetuated.

The Irish tune "Praises of Limerick" appears in some Irish tune collections as "Rodney's Glory". The text of the latter can be found on the Bodley Ballads website, and there's nothing Irish about it. |

As mentioned above, the Digitrad and Forum Search on the main Forum page is the best way of finding things on the site. Do bear in mind, too, that many songs have alternate titles and varying spellings! Malcolm |

06 Apr 01 - 10:16 PM (#434992) Subject: RE: Help: HELP WITH IRISH FOLK BALLADS, 'PLEASE' From: GUEST,Annraoi a Uíbh Fháilí chóír, Since when did "A Soldier's Song" - more correctly "Amhrán na bhFiann"- become an "Irish Folk Ballad"? Judging by your soubriquet, you are a native of the Irish Republic and , therefore, should know better. When was the last time you heard "La Marseillaise", the French National Anthem, described as a "French Folk Ballad"? Annraoi |
