Barney was 70 + at the time of recording, and on stage because The People wanted him to be, NOT because it was his night, It was Barney's "night" for 40 yrs before this point in his life, REMOVE that comment before some young fella reads it and thinks "What's the point of listening to this".
2 of the best musicians in the world
Brilliant, lovely music.
Barney is "the irish banjo player " his legacy will endure in the hearts and souls of all who have ever been touched by this amazing music.
Al the way through I'm listening hard and thinking "Can I copy that? Can I copy that?" Dang! All those variations and subtleties.
It does not get much better than that!
Fact.
Barney was dynamite in his prime Mucho respect
i loved barney mc kenna ,RIP
My musical heros
Age gets us in the end, it will come to us all eventually. Barney is worth listening to playing at 75%, RIP.
I think he was 72. Absolutely agree with you
Barney wasn't old only 72. That's not old. Barney drank alot in his time, that's probably came against him in the end.
@@paullinnane4396 yes Barney was a very heavy drinker when he was younger and it caused his death in the end
Well Barney has given it up ~ lets hope you are as flexible at 72 with a skinful of Guinness ..
RIP Barney ~ your shoes will take some filling.
