   My grandmother was often telling me that she remembered the time when there was leather money going.
   There was a public house at the time up at Crushphilip, and 'twas a great place for drinking especially on a Sunday evening. There was no law that time again' drinking on a Sunday. So every Sunday evening the place used be full. 'Twas most all punch they used to drink in them times.
   There was an ould blind piper and his wife (she was a fiddler) used come there, and the greatest music you ever heard used be there. This ould fellow and the wife had the grandest ould tunes ever heard. Grand reels and jigs & Hornpipes & airs that were never in a book.
