The Foggy Dew
Those of you who know me well, or have been readers of this blog for a while, know that I am an enthusiastic - ok, obsessive - practitioner of Irish traditional music, mostly on fiddle and guitar.
Last night was a particularly rare treat...I had the opportunity to share a few sets with Mr. Sean Keane, most well known for his work with The Chieftains over the last nearly 40 years.
Wow.
Also present, Jeff, a close friend and Bodhran player who may wish to remain anonymous to further identification with me (lest his radical leftist employee desert him for it!) and Paraic Keane, Sean's son, a friend, and an amazing musician himself.
Wish I had it on tape. We were playing major league, Hall of Fame level ball for one of the best 40 minutes of my life.
I meant to post this on Easter, but didn't get to it... (little did I know I'd be playing with one of the players on this very video on Easter Sunday!) but here are the Chieftains, with a wonderful vocal appearance by Sinead O'Connor: The Foggy Dew.
If you have a favorite Chieftains musical moment, please post it in the comments.
Splash, out

I have the CD, and this song always raises major goosebumps.
Thanks for the video.
Rest in Peace, Derek Bell.
