| Please! I just read 372.16 and .17... and I can not for the
life of me remember yer mans name that sang that version of
Spancil Hill. I know he was a Limerick man, and he used to
be on the Derek Davis show.
Its driving me mad, I can picture him perfectly. Especially
frustrating since I went out a couple of times with another
Limerick man of the same name.
Hope someone can help,
Debra

Hello,
I am currently taking a course in Irish Gaelic. It was through this
note (and note 19) that I became interested in the language. Would the
authors of these lessons mind if I took a copy of them to show to the
class ? Would this violate any Notes policies ?
