Some of these were passed down to Donncha from the County Cork dancing masters Joe O'Donovan and Cormac O'Keeffe, and we mustn't forget his own dance teacher, the Grand Lady of Irish Dance, Peggy McTaggart. The set dance played on this track by S&eacute;amus McGuire and Garry O'Briain was learned from a recording of Larry Redican who introduced the tune as 'For Denis Moynihan'; this perhaps implies that Redican composed the tune. <a href="/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=39&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=McGuire%2C+S%C3%A9amus+%28fiddle%29+43512454">McGuire, Séamus (fiddle) 43512454</a> <a href="/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=39&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=O%27Briain%2C+Garry+%28mandola%29+58691214">O'Briain, Garry (mandola) 58691214</a> Séamus Connolly Boston College Libraries 2016-02-12 <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/" rel="license"><img style="border-width: 0;" src="https://i.creativecommons.org/l/by-nc/4.0/88x31.png" alt="Creative Commons License" /></a><br />This work is licensed under a <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/" rel="license">Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License</a>. <a href="/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=46&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=McGuire%2C+S%C3%A9amus+">McGuire, Séamus </a> <a href="/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=46&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=O%27Briain%2C+Garry">O'Briain, Garry</a> Some transcriptions are based on historical source recordings. <a href="/exhibits/show/essays/essay-sweeney">More info.</a> http://library.bc.edu/connolly/plugins/Dropbox/files/IMC_M064_2013_03_1003.mp3 http://library.bc.edu/connolly/plugins/Dropbox/files/10-03_For_Denis_Moynihan-Set_Dance.pdf Four-Fingered Fisherman, The <a href="/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=49&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=Folk+dance+music--Ireland">Folk dance music--Ireland</a> <a href="/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=49&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=Jigs">Jigs</a> <a href="/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=49&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=Fiddle+tunes--Ireland">Fiddle tunes--Ireland</a> <a href="/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=49&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=Flute+music--Ireland">Flute music--Ireland</a> The young Chicago fiddle player Devin Shepherd composed this fine jig.

Those of us there that afternoon somehow knew that she would become a musician of note, and that she did. She is a fine fiddle player who has recorded a solo CD which was given a number of excellent reviews, and she has been a member of the renowned group Cherish the Ladies.
