| Description: |
JJ has fond memories of his early days in the Sliabh Luachra region of East Kerry. He describes the rushy farm, three gates in from the road without water or electricity laid on. Sliabh Luachra was an area with its own distinctive culture, neighbourliness and love of traditional music. When he was ten years old and his grandmother had passed on, the family sold their farm and moved to a farm with better land near Blarney. This move was a traumatic wrench for the family but it made economic sense. JJ gives an account of everyday farm life and the excitement of his uncles' return visit from Oregon after twenty two years.
