I suppose Mattie Connolly just looked too young for the role.

Walton's (Dublin) publishes an " Ireland's Best " collection for a variety of instruments. One is " Ireland's Best Slow Airs" -- "110 of Ireland's most beautiful and haunting melodies, including laments, airs...O'Carolan compositions. " On the back cover is a tag from &...

I think Mattie Connolly might fit the bill. Right age profile and one-time All-Ireland piper. I believe he lives near NYC. Sorry, I don't have his phone number. He's well known so perhaps someone might have his contact information. Best, Pipey

The Walsh Book, page 64 (tune # 171) has it as a 9/8 slip jig attributed to S. Ennis. Lunasa has it on their "Merry Sisters of Faith" CD -- track #9, the second tune after Scully Casey's. The notation in Walsh is a bit different from some mentioned in earlier replies. Best,

The low Level (hornpipe) from Brian MacNamara and looking for some music for Flood's that Brian plays after the low Level on his family album. Also Humours of Kiltyclogher (jig) from Liam O'Flynn album.

Got it. Many thanks for the help. Best, Pipey

Looking for the notes/dots/ anything for the jig: The Wind Off The Lake on Paddy Keenan's opening track on The Long Grazing Acre. Many thanks. Pipey

Monmouth County!!! Antaine, I believe the powerful David Power lives not far from you in Red Bank and gives lessons, at least when he's not running around the area performing. Great guy and a great teacher. There are other pipers in that neighborhood, as well. I'll hunt down his telephone number fro...

Can anyone comment on the workmanship, reputation of his pipes?
