  1. Great Dancers

    Share Share Post
    Michael Logue was the best dancer that ever was around here. It was Sweeney for the Rosses that learned him up at the Doochary bridge. Sweeney was the best piper about here. Michael Logue danced out at the world's fair in Chicago and Sweeney played the pipes. Sweeney did not know Michael Logue until he saw him dancing. Sweeney played the pipes the same day at the world's fair.
