“There was a poet long ago named Jonney Collins.”
There was a poet long ago named Jonney Collins. He was never known beyond Ballydehob. He lived in Ballycummisk. He died in 1920. He made songs about his own place. One was called "Ballycummisk." He used to get a headache before every song, and while in bed he used to make his songs. He died at the age of 45.Vincent Kelly,
