Rick, with respect, I do not think that Roy was in the same league as Barney McKenna as an instrumentalist. He was certainly inventive, thoughtful and clever in his arrangements, but Barney is an absolute monster picker, a true virtuoso, and I really don't think that Roy Williamson would have considered himself to be in the same league.

I will pass on your good wishes to Paddie on Friday along with Don's and will try to get her to open this thread and contribute.
