Bill Grogan's goat! :) Loved the telling. Now this one, I'm having quite a time understanding some of the words. No worries - I'll keep listening to it and work out more of the words. The accent is (delightfully) pronounced to my foreign ears.

This is definitely a County Kerry accent---i.e. "a dinger on the box" = good on the concertina.
