It's the great depth of feeling in this music that makes it so special...O'Carolan was going deaf, yes? Imagine this and to lose the connection to music that has nurtured you and given your life meaning. That is the poignancy of this music...

[@DSteinman]

I heard that it was when he knew he was dying, not going deaf!

[@edwardhogan1877]

He was blind.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Aren't we lucky enough to among the few here who know how good this is!!! both in terms of it's composition and rendition.

[@abacussin]

Derek Bell's version from the Chieftains live album circa 1977 is the best version of this ever played.
