Notes
Mentioned eloquently in Joyce's short story, "The Dead" (in Dubliners). This desolate region reminds us of Yeats' line "the drifting, indefinite bitterness of life" Ed has always felt that far too much is made of Ireland's greenery and not enough said of her terrible greyness. Ed has lived to see the whole of Ireland, and he has tried to get as much of it as he could into his own tunes.
