'My father passed away in early March 2008 while our band was visiting the Grand Canyon. We were stalked by ravens all day until, at sunset, one landed among us. It looked straight at me and gestured, croaking; after a few minutes it flew off. Within moments, the call came through that my father had passed. Max and I wrote the tune and only then did I discover that my father's bomber unit in World War II was called The Ravens... When I heard the last mix from Canada, I wept with joy. Mark Busic (engineer) had captured the feel of the day, the canyon, the wonder, perfectly. Max's guitar is the raven's wings. My violin and viola are the spirit breaking free...'

A more complete version of the tune is heard on this track, with my good friends the late John McGann playing guitar and Gabriel Donohue on keyboard. John was very involved with the transcription of the tunes for this project but, alas, he left us too soon. So in John's memory, perhaps 'Remembering Curly Remembering John McGann' might be a perfect title for this tune. Thanks, John, for all the music, stories, laughs, and friendship.]]> Connolly, Séamus (fiddle) (composer) 33682623]]> McGann, John (guitar) 275956837]]> Donohue, Gabriel (keyboards) 103020997]]>

Liz informed us in the liner notes of the recording that Armin Barnett and David Molk composed the tune while driving to Durham, New York. Liz called this smashing tune 'The Ride to Durham', and her playing is a delight to listen to. The lovely fiddle playing of John Daly from County Cork is heard on this track as he remains true to the version from the tape of Cathal McConnell's flute playing. John's fiddle playing is also a delight to hear.]]> Daly, John (fiddle)]]> Brehony, Kevin (piano)]]> Barnett, Armin (composer)]]> Molk, David (composer)]]>

I had forgotten completely about the tune and did not remember any of it when years later we came across the videotape and watched it together. She said as we watched it, 'See I told you, I knew you wouldn't remember it'. How right she was! That was Sandy. Always thinking and a step ahead. The tune is more complete now as I give it my best shot on this track. Another transcription of the jig is to be found in A Drop in the Ocean, a book of Irish traditional tunes compiled by my friend Josephine Keegan.]]> Connolly, Séamus (fiddle) (composer) 33682623]]>

The reel heard on this track is played by Tina Lech on fiddle. She learned it from the fiddle playing of Larry Redican and, not having a name for the tune, I gave it the above title to honour my good friend Roger. I was so touched and honoured when Roger presented me with a number of tapes of Larry Redican's fiddle music from those practice sessions.
