While I fully respect your opinion, Jim, I have to reluctantly disagree with you in this specific case. Certainly, for Irish fiddle playing, the recordings you mention can't be faulted, but in this particular instance, the recording is for a 12-year old, living in Australia, with presumably not a lot of familiarity with traditional Irish fiddle playing. I would think that Junior's CDs might be a bit - shall we say "esoteric", for someone so young. Musicians of that age I would think are more likely to respond to a lively band rather than a solo performer. That may not be the case in Ireland - and I envy you for having that - but this is a young musician on the other side of the world. Appreciation of the solo music of Junior Crehan, I would hope would come later [ but the sooner the better ! ].
All the best, Kenny
