Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Fiddler Of Dooney
Hi Brian, thanks for the post card

Jerry (or Gerry?) wasn't, as far as I know, a flute player. He attended so of the same sessions I did but I never saw him with an instrument. As far as being brother to anybody I don't know though he was at the time husband to very nice ft+ redhead.

What I do remember of the song was that the fiddler prized the 'Fiddle of Dooney' award above all of his musical accopmlishments. I'm going back now 25 yrs so at this point I'm not sure that I'd recognize the song if you drove it down my throat. Brain, thank you for keeping one eye opened for this. I very much appreciate it.

Hope you had a great time

Barry
