The latest collection of five CDs from Gerald O'Flynn, a Cork solicitor, will be out in time for Christmas and will probably be on the Internet as well.
The discs feature well-known ballads, but next year he plans to bring out an album of 12 selfpenned songs with Declan Sinnott also performing.
Mr O'Flynn comes from a musical family. Since he was seven years old, he has been singing and playing.
He knows the guitar, banjo, tin whistle, pipes and mandolin, and has a repertoire which would be the envy of most folk singers.
Our Last Rendezvous, which he wrote himself, reached the Irish Top 10 some years ago.
However, the legal eagle's work is not yet widely known, a situation which may be altered in the near future.
In the meantime, Aer Lingus has used his cassettes, and you may have heard him on headphones as you soared over the Atlantic towards the United States.
He has plans to tour in the US and is confident that next year he may even play in Carnegie Hall in New York. Carnegie Hall? how does one book that? I wondered. "Ring them up," he replied. The case rests.
