DESCRIPTION:
Recorded February 19, 1930. An annual festival, "Rose of Tralee", held in Tralee, County Kerry, was inspired by this song. Written by C. Mordaunt Spencer and Charles W. Glover. Authorship of "Rose of Tralee" has been disputed. Wikipedia states that some claim it was "written by William Pembroke Mulchinock, a wealthy Protestant, out of love for Mary O'Connor, a poor Catholic maid in service to his parents."
Orchestra conducted by Nathaniel Shilkret.
The other side of this record is "Ireland, Mother Ireland".
