Thanks for that! I play a number of tunes learned from friends of Joe, and have long been a fan of his music--so full of lift. Well done program!

Sweet ~ that settled an upset stomach, energized a weary spirit, cleared a foggy headache and took my mind completely off the fact that I'm suffering some bug this week. What was that final tune? Thank you kindly dinn...much appreciated...

The last tune he plays on the program is the White Petticoat.

I love his album "Give us Another." I must listen to it more since I'm in the "Joe Derrane mood" again and, Felix Dolan is on it (hence my thread about piano accompaniment).

I just watched that yesterday and I admit Id never head of him before... I know nothing about boxes (just that my great uncle played one)...

I became a better musician just watching and listening to Joe. Incredible musician.

I will never forget going to a St. Patrick's Day concert in Burlington,VT almost 10 years ago. The opening act was Joe Derrane and I confess I'd not ever heard of him. He absolutely stole the show with his playing.!The audience was stunned by his virtuosity and loved his gracious, humble stage presence. I don't remember the main act but have been a fan of Joe Derrane's ever since. Loved watching this program!
