Thread Name: Your favourite laments and slow airs
Subject: RE: Your favourite laments and slow airs
Isn't Eugene just bloody amazing? Several years ago during his farewell US tour, he played in Scottsbluff, NE (the wilds of the hinterlands) with Moloney and Eagan. During the break I met him outside while we were having a smoke. I asked if he would play "Celtic Lament" for my mum as she had never heard it. He said "You KNOW Celtic Lament?" I said, "Welllllll, um, I can't play it, but I know it". He was just blown away that way out here in NoPlace Land, I had heard his CD. Wonderful man, wonderful fiddler.

Add 2 to the list: Celtic Lament and Da Auld Resting Chair as played by Eugene. Da Slockit Light is wonderful, too.
