I love Jimmp Murphy! And I know what you mean Jim about the songs meaning more when you know a little bit about them. *short family history then I will get back on topic* While researching my paternal family history I came across a little bit of something. Apparently there was this Lord in England and he had two sons. One of them came to america and settled in northern PA. The other one inherated his fathers land and his son "was removed" to County Kilkenny where he aquired land from the local Lord there. It however is family lore that he actually was deported to Ireland from England. How true we don't know. I like the story though because eventhough I don't have any ancestors that were from Ireland, I at least have some history there!

Maggie, I was listening to Fields of Glory yesterday and my dad asked me some things. What exactly is the Football mentioned. I know its not american football and its not soccer. The other thing what is the "clarian" (however you spell it
) call also mentioned? Could you (or someone who knows) please explain further? Thanks
