Hi Padraic thanks for your reply, found your excellent site this evening. I`ve been browsing the web passing the time. Taking my mind of the heavy snow falling outside. Very severe weather here in Coventry, reminds me of the hard winters
In Ross in Co Meath in the 1940s/1950s. Fond memories of Eugine Leddy`s Ceili Band and Ken Brown r.i.p. playing in the Eldorado ballroom in Oldcastle.

All my ceili band lps have been digitally remastered by myself. The lp of Eugine was recorded in Co Cavan lp done in New York, 5 tracks of E Leddy on one side, Ballinamere on the other side, I will take a photo of the record & cover tomorrow and email to you. The recording was done in cavan in the 1950s.The lp was done in new york for the Irish market there, it was never available in Ireland.
I`m sure a lot of the late Eugine relations have never heard this recording
King regards Sean Quinn

NOT ALOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THIS: Not long ago and far away, Santa was getting ready for his annual trip...but there were problems everywhere.

Four of his elves were sick, and the trainee elves did not produce the toys as fast as the regular ones so Santa was beginning to feel the pressure of being behind schedule.

Then Mrs. Claus told Santa that her mom was coming to visit. This stressed Santa even more. When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two had jumped the fence and were out, heaven knows where. More Stress. Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the boards cracked and the toy bag fell to the ground and scattered the toys. So, frustrated, Santa went into the house for a cup of coffee and a shot of whiskey. When he went to the cupboard, he found the elves had hidden the liquor and there was nothing to drink. In his frustration, he dropped the coffee pot and it broke into hundreds of little pieces all over the he kitchen floor.

He went to get the broom and found that mice had eaten the straw it was made from.

Just then the doorbell rang and Santa cussed on his way to the door. He opened the door and there was a little angel with a great big Christmas tree. The angel said: "Where would you like to put this tree Santa?"

And that my friends, is how the little angel came to be on top of the Christmas tree.
