I watched my friend Mike Ryan who came from Edenderry in Ireland sit in a session one night watching this other fiddler play a tune, which I later learned that Mick had never heard. It was as if he was writing the tune down in his head, then, after a minute or two Mick picked his fiddle up and joined in note for note perfect. I don't know how these guys do it but they do... Strange thing is these sort of people seem to have the ability to retain the tune and play it again and again at a later date.. The mind boggles.

As Aye,

Phil.
