[Dixielandjazz] O'Bama is Irish

[Stephen G Barbone]

In the spirit of "Italians Invented Jazz", here is a non OKOM song  
from Ireland making a non-jazz claim of parentage. Posted on behalf of  
listmate Clive Smith.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone


Moneygall is a small village in County Offaly, Ireland.  It has a  
population of  approximately 300 people, has a Roman Catholic church,  
five shops, a post office, a national school, a police station and two  
pubs. President-elect of the United States Barack Obama's great-great- 
great grandfather, Falmouth Kearney, emigrated from Moneygall to New  
York City at the age of 19 in 1850 and eventually resettled in Tipton  
County, Indiana. Kearney's father had been the village shoemaker, then  
a wealthy skilled trade. And now for the SONG   CRANK UP THOSE  
SPEAKERS!!! iT IS WELL WORTH IT!!
