Additional info/contents	Background information on the songs used in At Kitty O'Shea's The Darling Girl from Clare was composed by Roscommon - born Percy French (1854 - 1920), among the most popular and prolific of Irish comic songwriters. Deirín De Irish children used to play a game in which they would light the tips of sticks in a fire, each player swinging this deirín de around while singing a nonsense song set to this melody. The winner was the child whose stick was the last to burn out. The Star of the County Down is one of the most common in the Irish tradition, long used both as a song air and for dance tunes of various rhythms. It is best known today as the air of Cathal MacGarvey's song The Star of the County Down. Siúil a Rún (Walk my Love) is a so-called 'macaronic' song, which mixes the Irish and English language, and dates from the mid-19th century. Siúil (pronounced like shool) means to walk or ramble. The Kerry Dances is a parlor ballad published in 1879, with some of the flavor of traditional music. It is attributed to James Lynam Molloy (1837 - 1909), who borrowed the first section from The Cuckoo, a 1790 song published in London by a Miss Margaret Casson. It was featured in the soundtrack of The Quiet Man, a hugely popular American film of the 1950's starring John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara. Finale: Jigs & Reels is a compilation of jigs and reels that includes The Rocky Road to Dublin, Rakes of Westmeath, Yellow Stockings, The Fermoy Lasses, Gravel Walks and Sleepy Maggie. The Rocky Road to Dublinappears twice, first in its original form as a slip jig in 9/8 time and later as a reel. Don Meade - New York
