N:Farley was a great tramp fiddler who roamed
N:through Monaghan and Cavan on fair days. His
N:daughter sold the family wares as he played
N:to the delight of their customers. Ed recalled
N:one day that Farley played so beautifully that
N:the daughter threw her arms around him in a

N:secrets shared by those who love the
N:music of Ireland.
