It was also heard in the BBC dramatisation of Dickens' 'Little Dorrit'. The stills record a visit in 2008 by David and wife Jean to Irish cousins and the derelict home of their grandparents in Doogary, County Cavan. Eleven Cassidy children including David's mother Ellen were successfully raised in a small cottage early in the twentieth century. Descending families are divided between Ireland, England, Wales and America.

This song never fails to move me. This rendition is no exception. A particulary well-done and enjoyable version. May good fortune attend your every effort.

Domo arigato, Rescue9Peace san. You are most kind and I value your support. Your English is good and I should learn more Japanese. Like you I am not young and am trying to leave a musical legacy for my family. If you have time, see my grandchildren with my wife in: 'Can ye sew Cushions?'.

Best wishes - David Keith Jones. (VoceVersatile)
