Yesterday, I learnt of the death of Jim McCann from blog update. His death was one day after the date upon which Grace Gifford Plunkett was born – she being the ‘Grace’ in the song he sung.
The update this morning from Stair na hÉireann referred to two separate events from the 1920’s – both of which have memorial plaques which I have photographed but which I had not realised were on the same day – just two years apart. (or maybe 1 day short of 2 years)
