Song Poems in Search of Music
Joe Farley is best known as one of "The Joes" who have written the "Keystone Tombstone" series of biography books, about famous or noteworthy people buried in Pennsylvania. He and his partner, Joe Farrell, have appeared on numerous television and radio interviews and programs, as well as dozens of news columns and magazines regarding this work. The two have traveled the Commonwealth in search of interesting tales to tell, interesting tombstones to honor, and interesting taverns in which to discuss their findings. Joe Farley's poetry spans his adult life, from the 1970s to the present, lamenting opportunities lost in the Anthracite Region of his birth, as well as his conquests and travels as he settled in the Susquehanna Valley of Pennsylvania. Farley is a fan of Shakespeare's sonnets, Wordsworth, Poe and William Butler Yeats, but his lyric style calls to mind his Irish roots. Regardless, these are verses in search of music. Hopefully a few musicians will do them justice. In the meantime, enjoy these lines by Joe Farley, an Irish bard at heart.

Trumpet Call to Victory
In the spirit of the movie Hoosiers, Trumpet Call to Victory tells the story of a small parochial high school located in the Pennsylvania coalfields that reached the summit of basketball glory in the late 1960s. Glorious victories and heartbreaking defeats are chronicled on Saint Gabriel¿s path to capturing multiple state championships. Unsung heroes and scholastic superstars take center stage during what, in the last five years of the school¿s existence, can only be described as a `golden age.' The feats of the greatest player in the region¿s history are chronicled as is the beginning of a career for a coach who arranged to have a young Bobby Knight address his state championship team at the school¿s sports banquet. That coach, Richard ¿Digger¿ Phelps, recently recalled his first head coaching job in a tweet which read, ¿St. Gabes was my first step to ND. They made it happen.¿
