I've only heard the sad news a few days ago. I had the privililege to meet Seamus together with Eric Lourme for a private session in the house of Philippe Giraud in Tocane two years ago one afternoon as he was in holydays at Philippe's. I never will forget this special moment. The quietness in the farmhouse out in the Dordogne and the sweet music. We played for a few hours, chatted about tunes, drank coffee and I think, Seamus and his wife appreciated it as much as we did.
May you meet all the magic musicians of the past in heaven, Seamus. Et mes plus sincères condoléances à sa femme et tous les copains de Seamus.
