Peter---My heart goes out to you for the loss of such a dear friend and playing partner. My deep thanks to you, to Eoin O'Neil, and to all those who knew her well, for bringing Kitty and her music to the rest of us. Though I live at an enormous distance from the countryside in West Clare, Kitty has been an absolute inspiration for me ever since Eoin brought copies of her first album to the Friday Harbor Irish Music Camp here in NW Washington State. I have listened and relistened and listened yet again to her music, and have learned so much about rhythm and lift from hearing her play...both on her own and with you. She died as she lived: with a good cup of tea, and the music in her heart until her heart simply and finally gave out. We should all be so lucky; and in the meantime we owe it to her and to ourselves to get as much enjoyment from playing the tunes in her memory as she did in playing for the memory of her son.
