Hi Roberta,
I know exactly what you're referring to...a tea towel with the family
names on it. I swear I've seen it in a catalogue like the Blarney
Woolen Mills. Of course I don't have one handy!

Hello Roberta,
Here in Galway there are a number of specialist shops dealing mostly in Irish
goods for the tourist market. Their stocks are probably low this time of year
but I will certainly inquire for you.
It is possible that the piece of linen was bought at one of the airports, maybe
Shannon Airport which has an extensive range of Irish goods including linen.
They will probably have a catalogue. The number for Aer Rianta, Shannon Airport,
(061) 471444. That is the number within Ireland, you will have to add the
neccessary digits from the U.S.
Good luck in your search
regards
Des

myself to the fact that I may never find this item?
Thanks,
Roberta

| 1456.8 | Looking for some sheet music.... | MROA::DUPUIS | | Thu Aug 01 1996 11:03 | 13 |
| Remember me??? The one looking for the irish linens.......
My mother was telling a relative how successful my search was (thanks to
this file) and guess what, no I do not need any more linens, now we are
trying to find a piece of Irish sheet music. Do you think you can help,
or point me in the right direction......The name of the song is The Call
and the Answer, I asked if he (my uncle-in-law)knew who may have preformed
the song and he said several groups/people, but the only names he gave me
were, Mary Black and Dadannen <- I think that's an accurate spelling.
Thanks in advance,
Roberta

| 1456.9 | Try this ... | NETRIX::"[email protected]" | Kevin Burns | Thu Aug 01 1996 12:06 | 11 |
|
Contact Green Linnet Records at 1-800-468-6644 and ask if they
can help locate sheet music. This song is on the ablum they sell
called "DeDannan - A Jacket of Batteries"
This song is also on the Dubliners "30 Years a Greying" CD#2
No wise cracks please .... :-)

| If it's a traditional song, i.e., not copyrighted, you might be
able to find it in one of the music listings on the web. Digital
Tradition is the biggest and the best, but I believe it's shut
down at the moment due to copyright concerns. There are a bunch
of others, though; Ceolas <http://celtic.stanford.edu/ceolas.html>
lists some and would be a good starting point. Another place you
could ask on line is the celtic music newsgroup
<news:rec.music.celtic>.
I don't know how much help Green Linnet would be, though they
might know of a few places around the country you could call.
The only one I can think of offhand is Andy's Front Hall in
(is it Voorhees?) New York. Around here you could try the
Music Emporium in Lexington; I know they carry some celtic
music books.
