Johnny Cunningham, the great Celtic fiddler, passed on Dec. 15 at the age of 46. He had a heart attack and died in his sweetheart's arms. I was awed and inspired by Johnny Cunningham and I always will be. I am thankful that he left us so many great recordings, but I will certainly miss his live performances. They were really *live.* You can read more, including beautiful messages from many who loved him, at www.johnnycunningham.com , on the news page. His sweetheart had just set up this website for him as a Christmas present. So give to me the parting glass. Good night and joy be with you all.
