HOLIDAY ABROAD IN DUBLIN,
REG OWEN and His Orchestra
On your trip to Ireland you'll discover that this is a land of words and music. No Irishman in his right mind ever used one word where ten or a hundred might do. It's kissing the Blarney Stone that's supposed to give the Irishman his eloquence, and in this land of James Joyce, William Yeats, George Bernard Shaw and Sean O'Casey, words (and the men who use them) are respected and revered as nowhere else in the world.
In Ireland, you'll learn that Irishmen are either very happy or they're very unhappy. There's not much of a middle ground-who ever heard of a moderate Irishman?-and either way they sing about it. If an Irishman is feeling cheerful, he sings for the sheer pleasure of it; and if he's unhappy, he sings in the hope that expressing his misery will somehow help to make it go away.
On the two sides of this disc are some of the songs that Irishmen sing, in their own country, or in the United States, Australia, Argentina- indeed, wherever they roam. They are the melodies that still come from the ancient, scratchy John McCormack records, and they help lift the feet of the New York Irish along Fifth Avenue every St. Patrick's Day. If an Irishman likes a tune, he's quick to adopt it for his own, whether or not it was authentically Irish in the beginning. Did Your Mother Come from Ireland, although written in the United States, is at least equally popular in Ireland, where the lyrics make no sense, because everybody's mother comes from there.
An so you'll hear these melodies all over Ireland; at the Shelbourne or the Gresham Bar during the famed Royal Dublin Horse Show in August, in country pubs from County Cork to Donegal, and in thousands of Irish homes when the welcome mat is out every year for the An Tostal, or "Ireland at Home" celebration in late spring when Ireland becomes the land of Cead Mile Failte-a hundred thousand welcomes.
