Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 4ú lá de mí Aibreán, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1970 chuaigh an ráta den táirgeadh tionsclaíoch I rith na 60dí suas chuig 500 milliúin punt agus de bharr sin bhí níos mó ná 50 míle post ann d'fhir agus mná. I 1986 bhí na múinteoirí ar buille leis an Aire Oideachas Paddy Cooney de bharr gur tháinig an nuacht amach go mbeadh daoine ón phobal chun teacht isteach agus stiúir a dhéanamh ar na scrúdaithe. I 1998 tháinig an nuacht amach gur chuaigh ceithre dhalta ó bhunscoil CBS I Durlas chuigh craobh na hÉireann den chomhar creidmheasa tráth na gceist. Bhí Morgan Gleeson, Thomas Slattery, Arthur Griffin agus James Kenehan san fhoireann. I 2005 bhí a lán siamsaíocht ar siúil timpeall an chontae cosúil le Liam Clancy, Dublin City Ramblers agus Bagatelle ag canadh I roinnt ionaid timpeall an chontae. Sin Simon & Garfunkle le Bridge Over Troubled Water – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1970. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1987 chuaigh albam U2 The Joshua Tree chuig uimhir a 7 ar an Billboard 200. Chuaigh sé chuig uimhir a haon tar éis trí sheachtain agus fuair sé stádas diamant I Meiriceá, mar dhíol siad níos mó ná 10 milliúin cóip. I 1999 tháinig an nuacht amach gur shroich an dara halbam de The Corrs, Talk On Corners, uimhir a haon sna cairteacha don deichiú huair ónar tháinig sé amach. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh Graham Norton in Éirinn I 1963 agus rugadh aisteoir Robert Downey Jr I Nua Eabhrac ar an lá seo I 1965 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé. Beidh mé ar ais libh an tseachtain seo chugainn le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 4th of April, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh In 1970: The annual rate of industrial production during the 1960's increased by more than £500,000,000 which created 50,000 new jobs for men and women In 1986: Education minister paddy cooney aroused the fury of striking teachers when he announced that he would hire members of the public to supervise and mark that years school examinations. In 1998- Thurles C.B.S. Primary School made a piece of history when four of its pupils became the first ever team from town to reach the A11-Ireland final of the Credit Union Schools Quiz the team was made of Morgan Gleeson, Thomas Slattery, Arthur Griffin and James Kenehan. In 2005 – Entertainment in the county was plentiful, with Liam Clancy, Dublin City Ramblers and Bagatelle appearing in venues across Tipperary. That was Simon and Garfunkel with Bridge Over Troubled Water – the biggest song on this day in 1970. Onto music news on this day in 1987, U2's fifth album, The Joshua Tree, debuted at No.7 on the Billboard 200, making it the highest first-week entry in seven years. It took another three weeks to reach No.1 and eventually achieved diamond status in America, selling over ten million copies. In 1999, Irish folk-pop band The Corrs saw their second album, Talk On Corners – the top-selling UK album of 1998 – reach No.1 on the UK albums chart for the tenth time since its release two years earlier. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – Graham Norton in Ireland in 1963 and actor Robert Downey Jr was born in New York City on this say in 1965 – and these are some of the things he has done. I'll be back with you next week with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

What is probably America's best-known song about the Netherlands — “The Dutchman” — was written by a man who had never been there.“The song has in it almost everything I'd ever read or heard, in school and in the library, about Holland,” composer Michael Peter Smith told a fan in 2010, about 40 years after he wrote the song at the very start of his career.Did he ever consider singing it in Holland? Oh, hell no!“Can you imagine,” Smith said, “the reception a Dutch singer would get in New York City with a song in Dutch called 'The American'?”Unconditional Love“The thing is,” Smith added, “it isn't really about a country or its denizens, is it? It's about these older people's day and how she takes care of him and how they sing together and how quickly everything is past and forgotten. They truly could be anywhere, yes?” Yes, of course. Anyone who listens to it knows “The Dutchman” has little to do with windmills and canals and everything to do with the unconditional love of Margaret and the sweet little husband who is drifting away from her.Enter Steve Goodman“The Dutchman” — the best known song by Smith, who died in 2020 at age 78 — came to prominence in 1972 when it was released as the opening track of Steve Goodman's second album, Somebody Else's Troubles. A few years earlier, Goodman had become entranced with the song when he heard Smith perform it at a club in Miami. Goodman went back every chance he could just to start memorizing it. Subsequently, his rendition became an instant FM radio hit at a time when FM was rich territory for original and innovative “adult contemporary” music. Over the years, Smith always credited Goodman for giving his songs a much higher visibility. (Steve recorded a second Michael Smith classic — “Spoon River” — on a subsequent album, Incidentally, The Flood also regularly performs “Spoon River,” as reported in this earlier Flood Watch article.)The Liam Clancy Connection While Steve Goodman is central to the Michael Smith story, the composer actually had a different singer in mind for the ultimate performance of “The Dutchman.”“The only person I ever flat out asked to sing this song,” said Smith, “was Liam Clancy, the great Irish singer. I knew it'd be good for him and I was right. Bless him, he sang it for almost 40 years, and made it sound like a Clancy Brothers tune.”Liam, who Bob Dylan once called "the greatest ballad singer of all time,” recorded it with Tommy Makem in 1983.Our Take on the TuneWe always loved Liam's version, but the song already was familiar to us from Steve Goodman's recording. Roger Samples, falling deeply in love with all of Goodman's albums, learned the song in the mid-1970s and taught it to the rest of us. Then for a decade or so, Rog sang it to our harmonies. Later on, when Rog moved away, the song lingered behind, Charlie taking over the vocals.Since then, every configuration of The Flood has regularly played “The Dutchman”, often at the end of a particularly sweet evening of music and stories. Lately, Charlie has given the song this new spin by adding a bit of mellow banjo to the mix.A Flood FootnoteBy the way, “The Dutchman” also plays an important part in a choice bit of Flood Lore, as Charlie can relate in a little two-part story.

 The Flood started doing this song about 1979, right after Roger Samples and Charlie Bowen learned it from a beloved album, Tommy Makem and Liam Clancy, released in 1976.Rog always said he thought the melody was buried in the very genes of Irish people, adding, “Every time we do that song, I feel like the ghosts of my ancestors come into the room!” "Salley Gardens"has been in The Flood's repertoire ever since, even tucked away among the tunes the band recorded on its first album two decades ago.  This current version — with solos by Dan Cox and Sam St. Clair — was recorded in a recent jam session just to be our gift today. Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone!

In Floodlandia, we celebrate this day by channeling the grand, green spirit of William Butler Yeats. We do several songs based on verses by this beloved Nobel laureate. Our favorite is “Down by the Salley Gardens,” which Yeats published in his 1889 volume The Wanderings of Oisin and Other Poems.In notes about the work, Years once said the poem was "an attempt to reconstruct an old song from three lines imperfectly remembered by an old peasant woman in the village of Ballisodare, Sligo, who often sings them to herself."In fact, Yeats's original title of his poem was "An Old Song Re-Sung.” Precisely what old song Yeats was thinking of we don't really know, though researchers think it might have been a now-obscure ballad called “The Rambling Boys of Pleasure.” That song's first verse spoke of lovers meeting in a garden, then added, “She bade me take life easy just as the leaves fall from the tree / But I being young and foolish, with my darling did not agree."Yeats' poem wouldn't appear under today's better known title until it was reprinted in a 1895 volume.But What's a Salley Garden?To find out, let's start with a “where.”As Yeats' notes suggest, the location of the poem is the banks of the river at Ballysadare, and that happens to be where the residents used to cultivate trees to provide roof thatching material.That material was known locally as “salley” or “sally,” a form of the Standard English word "sallow," i.e., a tree of the genus Salix. And that is close in sound to an Irish word, saileach, which means “willow.”What About the Melody?We don't know what, if any, tune Yeats had in mind for his poem, but in 1909, Irish composer Herbert Hughes, who also was a frequent arranger of folk songs, set the verse to a traditional air called "The Maids of Mourne Shore.” While over the years other different melodies also have been applied to the poem (notably by composers Rebecca Clarke and John Ireland in the 1920s), today it is usually to the tune of "The Maids of Mourne Shore" that most performers sing and play it.The earliest recordings of the song were in the 1940s by John McCormack, Peter Pears and Kathleen Ferrier. Our Take on the TuneThe Flood started doing this song about 1979, right after Roger Samples and Charlie Bowen learned it from a beloved album, Tommy Makem and Liam Clancy, released in 1976.Rog always said he thought the melody was buried in the very genes of Irish people, adding, “Every time we do that song, I feel like the ghosts of my ancestors come into the room!”“Salley Gardens” has been in The Flood's repertoire ever since, even tucked away among the tunes the band recorded on its first commercial album two decades ago.This current version — with solos by Dan Cox and Sam St. Clair — was recorded in a recent jam session just to be our gift today.

In Episode 8 I speak to Liam Clancy about his journey with Mental Health following the death of his brother Shane, who tragically took his own life after he took the Life of Sebastian Creane in his home in Bray Co. Wicklow Ireland. TRIGGER WARNING! this episode contains a conversation about suicide and murder.

Dziś o małej radiowej rewolucji, może nawet nie takiej małej. Otóż pod koniec lat 50 ubiegłego wieku dwóch naszych dobrych znajomych, wielkich, zaprzyjaźnionych pieśniarzy folkowych Ewan MacColl i Pete Seeger, nawiązało współpracę z producentem radiowym Charlsem Parkerem (żeby było ciekawiej, Charles też śpiewał i był animatorem ruchu folkowego). Postanowili stworzyć dla BBC cykl audycji poświęconych różnym aspektom życia na wyspach brytyjskich. Na przestrzeni 6 lat powstało osiem audycji o brytyjskich kolejarzach, budowniczych autostrad, rybakach, górnikach, bokserach, nastolatkach, obieżyświatach, majsterkowiczach, a nawet osobach chorych na polio. Cykl nosił nazwę „Radio ballads”. Panowie tworzyli audycje z czterech fundamentalnych elementów: muzyki instrumentlnej, efektów dźwiękowych, piosenek i nagranych wypowiedzi ludzi, których dotyczyła tematyka. Dziś nie brzmi to zaskakująco ale w latach 50 była to rewolucja. Samo połączenie różnych form nie było niczym nowym, nowością był sposób emitowania wypowiedzi bohaterów. W tamtych czasach w audycjach radiowych wypowiedzi zwyczajnych ludzi były transkrybowane a następnie czytane przez zawodowych lektorów. MacColl, Seeger i Parker do każdej audycji gromadzili setki taśm z nagranymi wypowiedziami rozmówców, spośród nich wybierali najciekawsze i, uwaga, w oryginale puszczali w eter. Szok. Powstały programy zabawne, pouczające, poetyckie i zarazem bardzo autentyczne. 62 lata temu, w sierpniu 1960 roku premierę miał trzeci odcinek cyklu „Singing the Fishing” będący hołdem dla rybackich społeczności wschodniej Anglii i północno-wschodniej Szkocji. Odcinek ważny, i to z co najmniej trzech powodów powodów. Pierwszy to ten, że „Singing the Fishing” było pierwszym w cyklu dziełem w pełni zintegrowanym, wykorzystującym dopracowane już innowacyjne techniki wplatania muzyki w dokumentalną treść, dziełem które ustaliło ostateczny standard dla pozostałych oddcinków cyklu i wyznaczyło kierunek rozwoju tzw. „oral history” w radiu. Drugi powód to taki, że „Singing the Fishing” rozsławiło Cykl na całym świecie. Po zdobyciu Prix d'Italia dla radiowego dokumentu w październiku 1960 roku, audycja została wyemitowana w 86 krajach. No a trzecim powodem jest niezwykła piosenka. No właśnie - niezwykła. W „Radio Ballads” śpiewane były piosenki specjalnie na tę okoliczność napisane przez Ewana MacColla. Podczas nagrań do „Singing the Fishing” Ewan MacColl poznał starego rybaka Sama Larnera. Samuel jako 13 latek pod koniec XIX wieku pływał już jako chłopiec okrętowy, po 2 latach zamustrował na rybaki i wypływał na łowiska przez kolejne 39 lat. Na emeryturze jeździł po Anglii i śpiewał poznane w rybackich portach pieśni. Życie Sama zafascynowało Ewana do tego stopnia, że napisał w hołdzie rybakowi piosenkę. Powstała moja ulubiona pieśń rybacka „The Shoals of Herring” - Ławice Śledzi. W Polsce z nieco zmienionym rytmem, pod tytułem „Ławice” śpiewają ją Cztery Refy do słów Andrzeja Mendygrała. Ale prawdziłą perłą jest oryginał, koniecznie z prologiem i epilogiem, których brakuje w polskiej wersji. Liam Clancy, autor mojego ulubionego wykonania, pięknie o „The Shoals of Herring” opowiada, twierdząc, że MacColl przed programem nagrał na taśmach wszystkich starych rybaków ze wschodniego wybrzeża Anglii i w piosence nie użył ani jednego własnego słowa. ... zrymował fragmenty nagranych wypowiedzi rybaków, dorzucił króciutki cytat z Shakespeara, i uczynił z tego piosenkę. Dla mnie arcydzieło. Sail Ho Audycja zawiera utwory: Fragment audycji „Singing the Fishing” z cyklu „Radio ballads”, wyemitowanej 16 sierpnia 1960 roku w BBC Radio, autorzy: Ewan MacColl, Pete Seeger i Charls Parker “Ławice” w wykonaniu zespołu „Cztery Refy”, słowa: Andrzej Mendygrał, muzyka: Ewan MacColl “The Shoals of Herring” w wykonaniu Liama Clancy z zespołem, słowa i muzyka: Ewan MacColl

“no fear, no envy, no meanness” So the story goes, Liam Clancy proposed a toast to a young Bob Dylan, and as Dylan told it, Liam raised his pint of Guinness and said it: “Bob, No fear, no envy, no meanness.” It struck me. I wear that quote on my wrist…but most days I fail to live up to it, one way or another. But many days, I do. The word, resentment keeps coming up in my thoughts, these days, so the quote seemed appropriate. Resentment. It permeates our society. Feelings of being overlooked, ignored, marginalized and disrespected. We all feel resentful at times—hell, I feel slighted on a daily basis. We resent each other…for big things and small things. FDR said it’s all about fear and maybe he’s right, but it seems envy and resentment have crept up on fear these days. It’s a question of “deservingness,” as Kathy Cramer put it. We gaze in “at undeserving groups who don’t work as hard as we do.” They’re not one of us… Resentment didn’t appear out of thin air. America has a long history of it. We’ve been haunted by racism and nativism from the very beginning. Hell, ask the Irish…my ancestors--Help Wanted No Irish Need Apply. Of Course, a few decades later, they turn around and play a big role in the Civil War draft riots in New York City, targeting free blacks as scapegoats, so there you go. People in glass houses and all that. Ah, the scapegoat theory. Politicians who cultivate race consciousness and demonize others—give many someone or something to blame for their fears, frustrations, and failures. The politics of resentment rages on. Resentment has become a driving force in politics—from the left and from the right. Angry citizens who feel they have no voice, are feeding off it. It grows from a disaffection and distrust for traditional institutions and leaders. And I’m not saying we shouldn’t be pissed off at our representatives. There is plenty to be angry about. But maybe a cure for all this is to start looking up at people rather than down. I don’t have to look very far to find people who work harder than I do…who do more for others; endure more hardship; more pain; who complain less; tolerate more. That act of looking up and around—rather than down— is humbling, liberating and inspiring. Take it from an old moody Irishman—being angry and resentful is exhausting. It takes much less energy to be joyful and cheerful. Now if I could only practice what I preach. While I’m convinced that there are only spiritual and moral remedies to all this, a good dose of truth would help. We need to get out of our information silos and embrace some semblance of reality. Dostoevsky said, “The man who lies to himself can be more easily offended than anyone else. And he will revel in his resentment till he feels great pleasure in it.” It’s obvious that we all need to be a little more grateful, more understanding, more humble; less envious… The reality is there are people who are less deserving of help than others, but when I stop and think about it, I realize that I have far more blessings in my life than I deserve. I don’t know about you. And as far as my complaints? Mea Culpa…Mea Culpa, Mea maxima culpa. When it comes down to it, my problems are mostly my fault. So Let’stop blaming others! Let’s deal with our failures just as we deal with our successes. I think if we start there, the solutions to real problems become much clearer. NO FEAR, NO ENVY, NO MEANNESS
