Paddy the Thresher
One time there was a man by the name of Paddy the "T" Mac Gorry. He was usually Paddy the Thresher. He used to be around the roads from house to house with his flail on his back and thresh the corn for people. He had no fixed home. Sometimes he used to sleep in my grandfather's at Newcastle and do all the threshing there then move on to another farmer's house around. He was a great old storyteller and could sing very well.
The people used to be delighted to see him coming. There used to be a hearty welcome for him whenever he went into a farmer's house.
