- Long ago the country was full of travelling folk.
Mick Byrne was a traveller who used to go from place to place playing a fiddle. He was blind and had a black dog to lead him around. There was a rope attached to the dog's neck which he held in his hand.
Some of the farmers gave him shelter at night and a crowd would gather in to hear the music and have a dance.- Collector
