	John McCusker, Yella Hoose

		There is McCusker the musician, mostly on the fiddle, but also on keyboards, assorted whistles and cittern.

	OpinionEditorials.com — John McCusker: Denial of Catholic Funeral Not About Being Gay — Destructive Behavior - Yuhas
		The fact is that McCusker is really a nobody except to those who knew him, but he is the center of a controversy in death that was started by his friends and family about whether or not a church has the ultimate authority over who is worthy of funeral rites by a particular faith.
		McCusker’s death is a tragedy for his friends and family and I’m sure they’re feeling what everyone feels when they experience loss, but their campaign against a church finally standing up for their moral beliefs is misplaced.
		McCusker was never an advocate for the Catholic Church when he was alive and he deserves not to be used as a political tool about religion now that he is dead.

		Prodigy John McCusker burst on to the folk scene at 17 in a blaze of talent.
		Then, one day, Mrs McCusker’s dream became the nightmare she had perhaps dreaded ever since John had begun tinkering around with folk music in his spare time.
		But this, says McCusker, is only "the first 50", and part of the motivation came from the fact that he was growing weary of scribbling out his tunes for other people.
