This album by the legendary *Irish Dutchman* is a treasure. His virtuosity on the D melodeon remains, I feel, unmatched.
He has had a major influence on players like Joe Derrane, Jerry O'Brien, Philippe Bruneau and Jackie Daly who, I believe, recorded his own version of Fitzmaurice Polka.
The CD from Folkways comes with excellent liner notes and I highly recommend it. Kimmel's art shines through despite the sound quality. The recordings date back to the 20s after all.
