You are in luck! I have it, in vinyl, which is perhaps the only way it came out.
Side One:
1.Tuttle's Reel / Farewell to Connacht
2.Sean O Duibhir a Ghleanna (some diacritical marks, or whatever you call 'em, missing)
3. Rakish Paddy
4. The Drunken Gauger
5. Down the Back Lane / Donnybrook Fair / Scully Casey's Jig
6. The Graf Spee
Side Two (to use this archaic format)
1. Paul Halfpenny
2. Porthole of the Kelp / The Connacht Heifers
3. The Dear Irish Boy
4. The Garden of Daisies
5. Unnamed / The Pip on the Hob
6. The Old Bush / My Love is in America
Just FYI, it's a Mulligan release, 1979. The short notes on the back say it was recorded in 1977. Engineer: Harry Bradshaw, Producer: Peter Browne, of this list, so maybe he'll beat me to the punch on this answer.
It also says Bobby was born in The Crosses of ANnangh, County Clare. I didn't know that was a place as well as a tune name!
Nice to see your name here....I just lurk in the background. Hope to see you sometime in the coming year.
The Crosses of Annagh is just a few miles outside of Miltown. There's a crossroads with a pub on one corner that goes by that name. I wonder if he was actually born in the pub, or if that's the name given to the crossroads too. I never thought to ask when I was last there.
Hope all is well and that the tunes are still flowing down at the Golden Ace! I am hoping to get out that way sometime early in '05 - if not sooner, at the very least I'll be in Indy for a hockey tournament in March.
Kate,is the Peter Browne on this list P.Browne? In that case, it's another Peter Browne who produced the Casey LP. His namesake on this list would still have been in short trousers in 1979. :¬)
The Peter Browne in question must be the piper and RTE radio presenter/producer. He has a long cv in trad music, among other things having stood in for (at different times) both Paddy Keenan and Matt Molloy in the Bothy Band.
Conan, thanks for pointing out my misunderstanding about Peter Browne/P. Brown. Silly of me. All I would have had to do was go to P.Browne's member profile to see he isn't the person he thought he was.
I think I was blinded by the fact that I know there are some famous people on this list,like Jack Gilder (only half in jest, Jack, as I own and very much enjoy the Garden of Butterflies album with Dale Russ)
And, on a related topic, what does anyone know about his other recording, "Casey in the Cowhouse"
I've never heard it. I've been told it's as good or better than Taking Flight. I've also heard that there's virtually no chance of it ever being reissued.
Track list for Taking Flight?
Track list for Taking Flight?
Anybody out there have the track list for Taking Flight (Bobby Casey) handy?
Thanks,

O.K., Jeremy, I did post the album.

I've never heard it. I've been told it's as good or better than Taking Flight. I've also heard that there's virtually no chance of it ever being reissued.
Any ideas about how one might get to hear it?
