He is incredible. I was fortunate enough to do sound for himself and Cal Scott. What a wonderful evening in the Potomac Highlands it was. My Irish DNA was re-awakened. I will always remember that night. What a blessing for us all. Just beautiful music. He did it all. If you get a chance to hear him, do it. He will not disappoint. He will whip the Devils rear end, back from out of the hole, the Devil crawled out of, for he is the bigger monster.

Enjoyed the chat as much as the tunes. Nice flow and great stamina- over an hour without a break- true professional.

In Drumcliffe Churchyard Yeats was laid...

@drumcliffechurch1535 3 жыл бұрын

Under bare Ben Bulben's head In Drumcliff churchyard Yeats is laid, An ancestor was rector there Long years ago; a church stands near, By the road an ancient Cross. No marble, no conventional phrase, On limestone quarried near the spot By his command these words are cut: Cast a cold eye On life, on death. Horseman, pass by!

I saw Kevin and attended a couple of workshops at the National Celtic Festival in Portarlington, Victoria, Australia a few years ago. One night he did an up close and personal session and told some great stories in between his tunes. Hope he doesn't mind that I recorded it. The annual Festival would have been last Long Weekend but was cancelled at last minute due to you know what, as it was last year. Also remember it was his Birthday that weekend!

At 44:10: Kevin introduces Evening Prayer Blues, which he thought was a Bill Monroe tune, and turned out to be a tune by the African-American, Black, harmonica genius DeFord Bailey, who opened up the very first broadcast of the Grand Old Opry with an amazing harmonica rendition of the old bluegrass standby Turkey In The Straw. So this piece of music attributed to DeFord Baily is a gorgeous call-and response/field holler spiritual. Kevin plays it wonderfully. The DeFord Bailey version: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mq57Y8yamLO-omg.html

@lastfirstface Жыл бұрын

To be fair, the Monroe version he plays had been substantially reworked from Deford Bailey’s tune, enough to really make it its own piece. Monroe credited Bailey, but his version bares little resemblance to the original.

(Note: if there is a tune on KZfaq that you want to learn, try slowing it down to 75 or 50 percent and then learning by ear).
