While Pat was in Ireland in December 2009 he became ill. After much persuasion from the family "Poppers" agreed to be checked out at the Loughlinstown Hospital. He was diagnosed --" a severe case of pneumonia". Pat had left it too late. He wanted to see his own doctor here in California. Alas, Pat did not make that scheduled flight on 10th January 2010.

  • Lyrics – by Popular Demand
    By Popular Demand Lyrics – By Popular Demand Finnegan's Wake (Trad.) Tim Finnegan lived in Watling St., a gentleman Irish mighty odd, He had a brogue both rich and sweet, and to rise in the world he carried a hod. Tim had a sort of a tippler's way, with a love for the liquor poor Tim was born To help him on his work each day, he'd a drop of the craytur every morn. Chorus: Whack fol-de-da now, dance to your partners, welt the floor, yer trotters shake, Wasn't it the truth I told ye, lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake. One morning Tim was rather full, his head felt heavy which made him shake, Fell off a ladder and he broke his skull, and they carried him home his corpse to wake, They wrapped him up in a nice clean sheet and laid him out upon the bed, With a barrel of whiskey at his feet and a bucket of porter at his head. Chorus: The guests assembled at the wake, when Mrs. Finnegan called for Lunch, First she brought them tea and cake, pipes, tobacco, and brandy punch. Then the Widow Malone began to cry, "Such a nice clean corpse did you ever see? "Tim mavourneen, why did ye die?" "Hould yer gob." said Molly Magee. Chorus: Then Molly Malone takes up the job; "Ah Biddy" says she, "you're wrong I'm sure." Biddy fetched her a belt in the gob that left her sprawling on the floor. Civil war did then engage, woman to woman and man to man, Shillelagh law was all the rage and a row and a ruction soon began.

  • Bob Dylan Musician, Keith Negus. This File Contains the Pre-Proof
    Bob Dylan Musician, Keith Negus. This file contains the pre-proof versions of Chapter One and Chapter Five from Bob Dylan, presented here in this format with the permission of Equinox Publishing. I have called this text Bob Dylan Musician because this was the original agreed title of the book right up to the moment just before publication when pressure from the US publisher resulted in the term ‘musician’ being reluctantly (from my perspective) expunged from the title. That word – musician – was there to concisely signal how my approach differs from most other books on Bob Dylan. I am interested in his work and practice as a musician, rather than his lyrics as poetry or the relationship between his biography and musical art. The book contains five chapters, so these two chapters introduce and conclude the study. If anyone would like electronic copies of additional chapters I am happy to provide these, as long as they are used only for research and teaching. Keith Negus June 2013 CHAPTER ONE Surroundings On 31 October 1964 Bob Dylan performed at the Philharmonic Hall in New York City, just two years after signing a recording contract and with four albums already released. Having quickly gained recognition as a folk ‘protest singer’ he was rapidly moving away from songs of social commentary and ‘finger pointing’. Dylan was beginning to use the popular song in a new and radical manner to explore more internal or subjective experiences, whilst experimenting with the sound, meaning and rhythm of words. Within three months, when recording his fifth album, no longer performing alone with acoustic guitar and harmonica, he was beginning to create an abrasive yet ethereal sonority, mixing the acoustic and electric textures of folk, electric blues, rock’n’roll, gospel, country and pop.

The attendance included John Moloney, Noel Morris, John Costigan, Pat Moroney, Seamus J., King and Michael TO’Meara. Seamus McCarthy was unable to be present. At the outset John Moloney was unanimously appointed chairman amd Michael O’Meara secretary. The chairman outlined the aims of the group, which were chiefly to honour annually persons over 70 years of age, who had given significant service to the G.A.A. in whatever capacity - player, official, groundsman, jersey carrier, tea maker, referee, umpire, etc. A sample of a framed certificate, which was presented annually in Dublin, was shown by the chairman to the meeting and the secretary undertook to get quotations for same. It was agreed that approximately 40 annual presentations would be made, i.e. an average of 10 per division. The consensus was that the general public should be asked to nominate suitable persons and justify why they were considered worthy. It was agreed that the presentations would be made in Brú Ború, Cashel on November 16th or 23rd and that the evening’s programme would consist of a chat, light refreshments and entertainment before the presentations. It was also agreed that the wives of the recipients be invited to the presentations.
