John McCormack
1884-1945
Baptisted at St Mary’s Church Athlone
the fourth of eleven-not alone
parents employed Athlone Woollen Mills
not exactly full of thrills.
Summerhill College Sligo-education complete
winning the Dublin Feis Ceoil-some feat
an acquaintance James Joyce
Ulysses a recommended choice.
Singing John’s choice
Italian lessons-Ireland rejoiced
controlled breathing-unforced sound
voice quality-charisma-renowned.
