Johnny D's/Waiting By the Door.A few tunes while I was recording in Florida recently. You can hear the longer set on our band album "Oisre" (drop me a line for more info). The first tune comes from the great Liz Carroll of Chicago, one of our favorite musicians and she wrote for another of our favorite musicians, guitarist John Doyle. The second tune comes from our friend Andrew Magill in Asheville, NC. He has a great debut album out called "Drive and Lift" which features a number of fine musicians and many of Andrew's compositions, all which are really awesome!

Columbia 1927 Piano Ed GeogheganThe year 1927 marked the peak of Micheal Coleman's recording career. In March, he made his first disk for the Victor company at their studios in Camden, New Jersey: later in the month, and again in April, he recorded for the Brunswick label. During May, he recorded for Columbia, and in June undertook another Victor session. This busy year of recording was completed by another Columbia sesion in December at which he recorded some of his greatest masterpices, The Grey Goose, The Green Fields of America and The Swallows Tail, and also the outstanding Lord McDonald. The Columbia bosses marvelled at this virtuoso performance: a special bonus payment was made.Hughie Gillespie (The respected fiddle player from Co Donegal who emigrated to New York in 1928 and there became a pupil and close friend of Micheal Coleman): 'They paid $500 out cash, they thought so much of it, Lord McDonald.'The pressures and formality of the recording studio intimidated many traditional musicians, but not Coleman.Mary Hannon (Micheal Coleman's only child. She married Maurice Hannon whose family hailed from Ballymote): 'He'd be excited going off to make his records and he'd come back and tell us all, but he didn't take it too serious. He didn't think it was a great thing. It was a job to him, I guess, but he was quite proud of himself, really.'By the end of 1927 Coleman had recorded over 50 sides - solo fiddle records with piano accompaniment, and duets with fiddle players, flute players, and a piccolo player. Although Coleman could have chosen to record with any Irish musician at the time, his duets were made with players largely unknown today.John Hunt was a companion of Coleman and travelled with him to America.Harry Bradshaw
