On the peninsula, Mairéad, whom they call Tony Cafferty, a fine, sporty, hearty man, a fluent speaker and a nice accordion player, and on one of the trips I took down that way he spoke to me and I took some music from him—this is his version of "Drioball na Fáinleoige."

That’s Tony Cafferty there then in the convent at the tail of the ring. I asked Tony which melodeon player he himself liked best. He said he liked a melodeon player from Connemara, that man, he says, who has the three happy names—Sonny Colm Half-goods, of course, that’s who he meant. Anyway, Tony gave a piece, eh, that I hadn’t heard before. He praised “the black sod quay,” which he gave as its name. We’ll listen to the waltz “Quay of the Black Sod” first, and then to the piece of conversation Tony had with me. And by the way, it’s the story of Mary John Tom that can be heard at the dance and in print while playing music.
