A grand musician R.I.P. Can`t help but notice that you seem to specialise in this type of information,Martin.How many `in `memoriam` notices do you reckon you`ve put up on the Session over the years?
Re: Longford Fiddler,Paddy Reynolds passed away in New York this morning

Re: Longford Fiddler,Paddy Reynolds passed away in New York this morning
In a note breaking the sad news to the Washington CCE e-mail list, Ira Goldman says it all: "The great Longford (and NY) fiddler PADDY REYNOLDS has died. With the late Andy McGann he represented an entire generation of the finest traditional Irish fiddle music. His loss is beyond measure. His music
lives forever."
Re: Longford Fiddler,Paddy Reynolds passed away in New York this morning
A sad loss indeed. I had the LP of Paddy Reynolds and Andy McGann and it was great music to listen to. Does anyone know from that recording which of the two of them grunted when they were playing?
Re: Longford Fiddler,Paddy Reynolds passed away in New York this morning
I believe that was Andy. There's definitely a lot of grunting on his solo record with Paul Brady. Perhaps it was Paul, in fact! That would explain a lot....

Re: Longford Fiddler,Paddy Reynolds passed away in New York this morning
I have the CD of Paddy Reynolds and Andy McGann and would recommend it to anyone. Both great fiddlers
How wonderfully appropriate they should go within months of each other after long lives of making great music.
I'll play your tunes tonight in your honour.
RIP Paddy.
