Summary

Bentley’s public catalogue identifies the first side of AFC SR059 (original disc 3-13) as a 1940 Beaver Island recording entitled “Recalling where the Irish parties grow (talk),” with speaker labels Dominick Gallagher and Pat McDonough.

Evidence and limits

This entry preserves an unusually specific archival catalogue label: a 1940 Beaver Island talk with an Irish-party subject. It does not provide a transcription or listening notes, establish what the speakers said, identify where any parties occurred, show that the talk was in Irish, or resolve the catalogued Pat McDonough to a biographical person. The Dominick Gallagher label is connected to the existing person record only as a source-bounded archival association.

Sources

    The public catalogue labels the side “Gallagher, Dominick, and Pat McDonough, Recalling where the Irish parties grow (talk),” dates the recording 1940, and explicitly labels it recorded at Beaver Island. It is catalogue metadata, not a transcript, audio review, identity resolution for Pat McDonough, evidence of where parties occurred, or proof of the talk’s language or content.
