  6. Joe Don Baker
    From All Movie Guide: Veteran character actor Joe Don Baker has been playing rugged good ol' boys since his uncredited role in Cool Hand Luke in 1967. Born in Texas, his Southern drawl and ample proportions made him suitable to play countless numbers of simple-minded sheriffs, cops, and detectives in everything from big-budget blockbusters to low-grade action movies, although he more often appeared in the latter. On TV in the '60s, he guest starred on Bonanza, Gunsmoke, and Mission: Impossible before starring in his own show, the short-lived detective series Eischied. On the big screen, he played the drifter in Sam Peckinpah's Junior Bonner in 1972. He same year he made the "hicksploitation" classic Walking Tall, followed by Charley Varrick, Golden Needles, Framed, and plenty of other poorly made action thrillers that have since gained a small but appreciative audience on home video. The best example is 1975 crime flick Mitchell, which was featured on an important transitional episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000.

  9. Danny Boy
    Danny Boy is one of over 100 songs composed to the same tune. The author was an English lawyer, Frederic Edward Weatherly (1848-1929), who was ... a songwriter and radio entertainer. In 1910 he wrote the words and music for an unsuccessful song he called Danny Boy. In 1912 his sister-in-law in America sent him a tune called the Londonderry Air which he had never heard before. He immediately noticed that the melody was perfectly fitted to his Danny Boy lyrics, and published a revised version of the song in 1913. As far as is known, Weatherly never set foot in Ireland.
  10. Irish Traditional Music -- Ireland
    An examination of the contemporary traditional music scene reveals that younger performers have learned their lessons well. Some of today's superstar fiddlers include Sean Keane (the Chieftains,) Kevin Burke, Paddy Glackin, Tommy Peoples, Frankie Gavin, Martin Hayes, Eileen Ivers, Liz Carroll, Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh, Nollaig Casey and Márie Breathnach. The posterity of the tin whistle is in capable hands with Mary Bergin and her American-born disciple, Joanie Madden of Cherish the Ladies. While flutists like the Chieftains' Matt Molloy, the late Frankie Kennedy, Cathal McConnell and Kevin Crawford are crucial role models. Paddy Moloney of the Chieftains and Davy Spillane of Riverdance fame are unquestionably the world's most famous modern uillean pipers, but Liam O'Flynn, Finbar Furey, Paddy Keenan and Jerry O'Sullivan have ... achieved strong followings. Ireland is also full of brilliant accordionists these days, with James Keane, Martin O'Connor (formerly of De Dannan), Joe Derrane, Jackie Daly and especially the very inventive bandleader Sharon Shannon leading the pack.
