 | Luke Kelly of the Dubliners did a particularly haunting version of this song. He also ran folk concerts in London in the early ´60s and introduced a young singer from the States - namely Paul Simon. |

 | Interesting! "The Sun is Burning" was written by Ian Campbell of the Ian Campbell Folk Group for his sister Lorna. |

| On the subject of Irish folk Groups, tommy Makem (of Tommy Makem and the Clancy brothers) died today. These guys brought Irish folk songs to the states in the late fifties. Seemly when they were playing in Greenwich village Bob Dylan heard them and was inspired to write rebel folk music - andthe rest is history. Tommy Makem wouldn´t be that popular with my peers as we kinda blame him for the hollywood tooralah Iorish attitude to Irish music. |

| Jeanette, if you´re still here, there are some tricks I´ve used to restore shellac records that might work on your 45. (Of course you´d want to try this with some thrift-store rubbish first)!
If the edge is just crumbled, you can of course digitize what´s left. You may lose a bit at the beginning but you´ll still have most of the song on file.
With partially cracked shellacs, I´ve had good luck warming the record just a little (an iron on the silk setting, for example), pushing it into shape to the extent possible, and once it´s cooled down completely, letting it sit between two weighted panes of glass. (I´ve made a little "box" for this, but then I´m a geek). If you only care about one side, you can make the process easier by using filler in the crack on the garbage side, but that´s really iffy.
Again, this usually gets a shellac record in adequate shape to be digitized (and the sound quality cleaned up from there) but I don´t know if the same will apply to vinyl. So best of luck but YMMV. |
