Gosh, it's been a while since I started a thread on Mudcat, even visited, but I'm deeply saddened to hear of Micca's passing. Memories of him at Loughstock, singing 'The Hash my Father Scored' in the famously non-sectarian town of Portaferry, and the wit of the man, captioning a picture of me winding the knobs on my fiddle, which was perched on my squeezebox, as 'the original Skipjack tuner'! I came here to share this little gem on Youtube. I live on Mersea Island in Essex, which is overpopulated by professional, semi-professional and retired musicians, who have had little to do during lockdown, so Jay Stapley marshalled, wrote, played on and mixed the final version of the Mersea Musicians Lockdown Song, and I'm happy to say my fiddle track was accepted. Hope you enjoy:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPyOPULITBI&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR0ZmeAdPq1UhIOUbGZ-pT7_Lyu7f2bxFS01Rog7kBgkz9optJSyywr1gFw
