Re: Cell tower location

I found this site which maps out the cellular towers on the Island:

You would think that all my years on Beaver Island, having a few friends of Irish decent, and watching all those episodes of "Ballykissangel" that I would come across this song before now! I found this history of "The Parting Glass" looking for the lyrics: http://justanothertune....

Marie,
Thank you for clearing that up! My wife and I would have enjoyed that concert, but we had to return to the States as my son had his Football Practices starting up on the 6th.

Hopefully our stay next year will be longer!
