Very sad news comes to us out of Waterford that Tommy Kearney has passed away. His contributions to Irish piping put him in the company of the greatest pipers. God be good to him.

Mick,

I think you're confusing two pipers, Tommy Kearney and Tommy Keane (both from Co. Waterford). The former died some months ago. The latter (referenced by your link) is still with us, I sincerely hope.

I have corrected the link. I mistakenly pasted the wrong link, Geoff. I meant it to be the link to the review you wrote about The Master Pipers Series. It should go there now.
