A Seed Is Sown 1884-1900 (1) Before the GAA from the Earliest Times, The
A Seed is Sown 1884-1900 (1) Before the GAA From the earliest times, the people of Ireland, as of other countries throughout the known world, played ball games'. Games played with a ball and stick can be traced back to pre-Christian times in Greece, Egypt and other countries. In Irish legend, there is a reference to a hurling game as early as the second century B.C., while the Brehon laws of the preChristian era contained a number of provisions relating to hurling. In the Tales of the Red Branch, which cover the period around the time of the birth of Christ, one of the best-known stories is that of the young Setanta, who on his way from his home in Cooley in County Louth to the palace of his uncle, King Conor Mac Nessa, at Eamhain Macha in Armagh, practised with a bronze hurley and a silver ball. On arrival at the palace, he joined the one hundred and fifty boys of noble blood who were being trained there and outhurled them all single-handed. He got his name, Cuchulainn, when he killed the great hound of Culann, which guarded the palace, by driving his hurling ball through the hound's open mouth. From the time of Cuchulainn right up to the end of the eighteenth century hurling flourished throughout the country in spite of attempts made through the Statutes of Kilkenny (1367), the Statute of Galway (1527) and the Sunday Observance Act (1695) to suppress it. Particularly in Munster and some counties of Leinster, it remained strong in the first half of the nineteenth century. -

20.12.19 Policing The Jig Hour.wav SM: Sarah McConnell AS: Audio Sample MO: Mike O’Malley TS: Thomas Stanley NB: Naima Burrs [00:00:00] SM This Irish tune is called Chief O'Neill's Favorite. It's named after Francis O'Neill, also known as the savior of Irish folk music. Back at the turn of the 20th century, O'Neill was a prominent Chicago police chief, and while he was out patrolling the streets, he collected thousands of tunes, mainly from the same community, he was sworn to protect. But his methods weren't always exactly aboveboard. AS There's one guy who he describes going to his house and he goes to hear his fiddle music. And he goes up these rickety stairs into this very small apartment and he's in his police uniform. And the family don't want him there. They don't like having a captain of police in their house. There's - no good can come of that. And eventually, he says, you know, he gives them some coins and beer is produced and the fiddle player relaxes enough to play some tunes. SM From Virginia Humanities, this is With Good Reason. I'm Sarah McConnell and today, the savior of Irish folk music. Later in the show, what does it mean to listen deeply? AS See the - the sound product as it's presented to you as this beautiful smorgasbord of sounds and just feed on it. SM But first, Frances O'Neill joined the Chicago police force in 1873 and later became police chief from 1981 to 1985. -
