Re: Nick Kelly's web site
Nick - I disagree. I think that the Clancy's were very close to the KT - witness the tribute song that the Trio did - "Stay Awhile" - to the Clancys. I have heard Bob Shane speak of their close relationship. Further, as to other folk ties, I believe that they are closest to Bob Dylan - check out the prominence that they are given on the recent Scorcese TV/DVD on Dylan and the proliferation of comments by Liam throughout that film. I am not certain that they were close to the Weavers as a group, but Pete Seeger played banjo on their first Columbia recording. By the way, at some point, I would like to tell you of my experience at Tom Clancy's Memorial Mass at ST Patrick's Cathedral in NYC shortly after his death
