Description
MARY ELLEN CONLON, Irish Concertina expert, does two terrific numbers:
"RORY O'MORE (jig)" and "MISS RAMSEY (schottische)"
This original 1923 Gennett 5270 is in clean V++ condition. Some white grease pencil fills in a gouge on "Rory."
I wish we had a picture of Miss Conlon!
* N.B. - Fellow eBayer "Rekkid Wrangler" fills us in about this artist: "Mary Ellen Conlon played the single-row button accordion (also called the melodeon in Ireland). She did not play the concertina. She was the sister of the great P. J. Conlon, perhaps the best Irish melodeon player of his day." THANKS, Rekkid Wrangler!

These records come from my private collection, which I have been accumulating since 1967, and now am downsizing! My highest priority in these eBay auctions is to give you the best possible idea of a record’s true condition and aesthetic value. I always post at least four clear images, showing the record fore and aft, a close-up of the label, and the whole disc, warts and all. If my purple prose won’t cut it, the pictures will! Shipping is done with expert care. Your record will brave Media Mail in a stout corregated box, between four sheets of cardboard and a couple of “packers.” I hope you are amused by these descriptions, and by the quality of service being offered.
