Thank you Elwyn for this very interesting information. As you say -- how ironic that this Irish of Irish songs may have been compiled by an English and Scottish people!

Don't let that be right pleeease.

Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Oh no! Are we carrying April Fool's Day over to today? Or is that the Irish way -- it goes on for several days....

(It's not that I'm Irish actually - although my grandmother was -- as is my husband --- can't believe a lot of what he says either!!)
