Speech: Untitled [Introduction to the music on track 13, mainly topics related to dancing, including: the travelling dancing master and fiddle player Hennessy (trained local people to dance the jig, reel and hornpipe; first taught the rising step in the jig, then the side-step for the reel; was active in the 1920s and '30s; taught MR's father; {MR himself saw H.}; taught pupils individually and charged sixpence per step, then thought very expensive; used to stay and teach in Michael Flanagan's house; would stay for one to two months at a time; when the lessons were over, sets would be danced in Flanagan's house); the dancing master Stack (from Ballycotton, Co Kerry); the dancer Paddy Moloney (danced in knickerbockers; danced Sagart na mBuataisi {The Priest in his Boots} as a solo dance); dancers in the Aran Islands (made up their own steps; when dancing a set would make the figures very long); Mairtin O Griofa, Carraroe, Co Galway, solo dancer (would make up his own steps); 'single' dancing (i.e. solo dancing by one man); a girl from Belgium performed what she called 'nature dancing' at the festival in Lisdoonvarna to the tune selection in track 13 (BB enquires if she was still dressed); Father Pat Ahearn (Siamsa Tire) arranged this tune set for the Fleadh Nua; MR offers to demonstrate a double batter with heel and toe in reel or quick hornpipe time.]
