SNIPPET: In the April 1981 issue of the Washington DC's "National Geographic" magazine, are several photo-stories. One, "War and Peace in Northern Ireland," by Bryan HODGSON, of the magazine's senior staff, has a charming full-page color photo by Cary WOLINSKY with a caption that reads: "Jigs and reels fly from John LOUGHRAN's fiddle when the blind musician from Pomeroy (Tyrone) sits down with his four-year-old neighbor, Mary McCULLAGH. In return for acting as his eyes while John tends a small flock of sheep, Mary is taught to play the ukulele, tin whistle, and fiddle. 'Oh, Mary's a great girl altogether, now she is,' John brags." Lovely photo!
