                <text>When I visited Finbarr Dwyer at his home in Clarecastle, County Clare, he generously made a recording for me which included this less familiar composition of his. Finbarr was most humble and did not give his tune much credit, let alone a title. He would probably have given us a different interpretation had he played it again for me. That's Finbarr, a master musician, composer, and improviser &amp;ndash; surely a genius if ever there was one.</text>

                <text>When I visited the accordion master Finbarr Dwyer at his home in County Clare, he played this jig, which he had composed when he was about ten years old. Finbarr did not think too highly of the tune: he can be heard on the recording describing it with the words in the above title. But I have no doubt that whoever hears this track will enjoy the creation of this prolific composer and extraordinary musical genius.</text>

                <text>Looking back in time, one of my special memories of working on this project was the visit I made to Finbarr Dwyer. As I was setting up my recording machine he was playing this, his very own version of 'The Old Blackbird'. I have always loved this tune, but hearing it played by Finbarr that day made it even more special. I captured most of his remarkable playing of this tune, and here it is now. Finbarr's playing is a perfect lesson on the difference between the 'bones' of a tune that can be found in a transcription and what that tune can become in the mind and hands of a true master. The transcription included with this collection is taken from a book entitled &lt;em&gt;Forget Me Not&lt;/em&gt;, which Laurel Martin and I compiled for Mel Bay.</text>
