Nice to hear Jamie. I myself was born in late 1974.

I don't check this CZcams account very much (in fact never really), which is why I took so long to reply. Please email me whenever. Thanks.

Hi Sally - any way we can get in touch? Raph was my step Aunt (kinda). I knew her well from 1985-1998. Please email me: dylanofarrell@gmail.com Thanks

Guitarman Recrods was Frank's own label. Yes, he wrote that funk track "It's Alright" as the B-Side. Maybe I should upload when I find the time to get around to it!

@@dylanofarrell8581 I made a video of it...will load it in the next few days

@@MrRockinStars Cool. Thanks @rockin stars! Frank was my dad, as you probably guessed. Where are you based?

@@dylanofarrell8581 Virgina USA

@@dylanofarrell8581 I just posted the flip side "It's Alright"

you can used it Frank, if you still need to! otherwise email me - dylanofarrell@gmail.com

Very sorry to hear about Raphael, as a fellow musician I knew her in New York.,,I had no idea she was not felling well. I can tell you her name comes up frequently still in conversations.. And she is missed around the new York area.

Hi Lyn - I’m Frank’s son and grew up in Tooting. I’d love it connect to hear stories about the Wheatsheaf. I went to St. Anselm’s. You can message me directly on here, at least I think :)

@@dylanofarrell8581 Hi Dylan, so nice to hear from you. I have listened to your dad playing many times now on CZcams and it makes me so very happy and also very sad. He was so much a part of my life in the 70s/early '80s when my mum, dad and me used to go and watch him play. We saw him countless times. My mum worked in The Wheatsheaf pub in Tooting Bec from time to time, where your dad played regularly, near to where you went to school. My brother says that your dad was playing in The Gardeners Arms pub just off in Northcote Road, in Battersea, in 1975 the night he asked my sister-in-law to marry him, so we all go back a long time and have a bit of history. One particular good memory for me was seeing your dad support The Dubliners in a club in Ilford, Essex in about 1982. It was a great night, we went by coach on an organised trip from the Wheatsheaf. Your dad had a manager called Clive, I recall, and he sorted out the arrangements. My mum, who is sadly no longer with us, was a huge admirer of your dad. She first met him when she worked behind the bar in The Surrey Tavern pub on Wandsworth Common in about 1973 and I worked there too in my school holidays (under age, of course). I remember meeting your dad there whilst I was serving behind the bar too. For some reason , he was known as "Major", something to do with his connection with the army, we were never sure exactly. I will E Mail you with some more memories if you would like me too. You must miss him a great deal. Best wishes to you and your family. Lyn x

@@lynfield1261 Thank you so much for your stories. I grew up in Tooting Bec and know all the spots you speak of. They probably called my dad 'Major' as he spent a bunch of time in the army as a young man in Germany. His obituary is below. You may have seen already, but I'm posting just in case you haven't. So proud to hear he impacted a cherished moment in your the life of your family members! Music makes the world go round! www.irishecho.com/2017/12/frank-ofarrell/

@@dylanofarrell8581 Was a huge fan of your fathers!! I grew up with this album and saw Erins Pride many times are the Catskills Irish festival. I cannot find the full album for purchase and curious if you know where I may purchase one?

@@dylanofarrell8581 I knew your father very well from all the local pubs around here. He went out with my best friend for a while. We had many a good lockin in the old days and had great fun. I loved this song and also his version of me and Bobby McGee. He would always sing those 2 songs for me. He was a lovely, great man xxxx

Hi Lynn - I thought you might be interested in this if you haven't read it yet: www.irishecho.com/2017/12/frank-ofarrell/

Hi Maggie. I'm Frank's only child and live in California. Would love to hear more about when he first arrived in NY! My email is dylanofarrell@yahoo.com if you ever care to connect. No big deal if not. Cheers, Dylan

I love it also. I met them a couple of times when they performed at Irish Festivals in South Florida. Are they still around and performing? I think they were based in Long Island. This song reminds me of Mom's story of their Mom's running a boarding house in Manhattan with boarders being Irish immigrants, family, and being like song suggest. There were even one or two "sandhogs". (constructing subways). :-) Song exudes that atmosphere.

I am so pleased to find Frank O'Farrell published at last on you tube. Loved him since the late 70s when he performed as a One Man Band in the pubs of Tooting, South London. Great singer. Sadly missed.

@@timnone2835 Frank passed 10/30/17.

I'm so sorry to hear that. @@jimmckiernan5207
