N:Tom had a "shakey" hand that could have 
N:been a trial to most. But you would never know 
N:it from the way Tom could slap large cuts of butter

N:Never Was Piping So Gay. The concluding line 
N:of O'Driscoll's refrain in Yeats' poem, the 
N:Host of the air. O'Driscoll dreamed that 
N:his wife Bridget was taken by the Host 
N:as he was playing harmlessly at cards with 
N:"the merry old men." When O'Driscoll 
N:awoke from his dream,all that remained of the 
N:dream was the strange unearthly sound of a pipe
N:piping away in the distant air- 
N:"And never was piping so sad, And 
N:never was piping so gay."

N:"the drifting, indefinite bitterness of life" 
N:Ed has always felt that far too much is made

N:Any musician who has tried this feat knows how 
N:frustrating it can be. I'm reminded of a story 
N:once of one who tried to change a tune and failed. 
N:All too quick to take credit for his own 
N:latest "improvement" of an old tune, our would-be 
N:composer waited anxiously for the praise he 
N:so confidently expected. A crafty old judge of 
N:tunes himself was only too happy to deliver the

N:Son, if you left out what you put in
