Reminds me of the reprinted stories from the Connaught Tribune of Bishop Browne condemming the mixed bathing at Salthill & company keeping by young people in Galway. One small typo: "She’d enjoy the words—those those daft rhymes..." Pat Hi Dervala,
Great story! Reminds me of the reprinted stories from the Connaught Tribune of Bishop Browne condemming the mixed bathing at Salthill & company keeping by young people in Galway.

One small typo:
“She’d enjoy the words—those those daft rhymes…”

I said it before and I'll say it again, you need to get a book published. My uncle rode around Galway in the forties on a motorbike, playing the saxaphone for similar Godless bands, and had his own troubles with the clergy. RTE will probably run another competition this year. Go for it. http://www.rte.ie/radio1/story/1015629.html Wow. I said it before and I’ll say it again, you need to get a book published.

Delightful story reminscent, to a state-sider of reactions to Rock and Roll, Elvis and Hip-Hop. One mildly critically comment. The space between Charley being challenged by his friends to ask Margaret to dance and Margaret taking a step back from Charlie's Rhumba step, might benefit from a bridge. Otherwise, BRAVO!

I think I understand my late grandparents a bit better now. I also hear echos of the overweening church in Quebec from that same era. You have done something good here, Dervala. Please continue.
