Incidentally, if anybody would like the definitive study of the Lord Leitrim affair by D.K. Wilgus along with recordings of 2 of the twenty songs made on the assassination' an -mail address will link you to a digitised copy My favourite story of the landlord was told by my late friend, Tom Munnelly Tom weent to The Tradition Club to hear two fine Donegal fiddle players back in the seventies On the way to the bus after the session, he found he was walking behind the two men and saw them stop, climb over the high railings of St Michan's Church in Smithfield and reappear a few minutes later - the Church contians Clements's crypt As Tom drew level with the railings he saw them walking back through the churchyard zippin up their flys They recognised Tom from earlier and told him "we always like to pay our respects to His Lordship whenever we come to Dublin" Jim
