I must be confusing Duke Gordon with the Salamanca. :tomato: :tomato: :tomato:
In fairness, they're similar and Ennis usually played them together. And more often than not he botched the transition by mixing them up.

I usually take tunes uploaded to my box account down after a while, not much to see there.

I think there is a clip of himself playing one of those two tunes (Duke Gordon I think, but it said Hand me Down) around 1981.

It is briefly see in the great documentary about him Ó Bhéal Go Béal: Séamus Ennis.

Does anybody have that clip?

This clip though is one of my favorites. It's what got me into uilleann piping, even flat sets too. Some squeaks and missed octaves, but full of heart and expression, can't count how many times I've watched it (Hundreds maybe) I still find new stuff I never heard before.

He played those two quite often. Anyhow, you really want to listen to his piping when he was really on the form, for Hand me down the Tackle(and into My Love is in America) probably the recording at Tom Queally's during the 1958 Fleadh in Miltown.

Here's a copy, a bit of a low res MP3 (I have better copies of the recording but this was handy)

Hand me down the Tackle/My Love is in America _ Ennis 1958

I've just ordered The Return from Fingal (And The Pure Drop) to expand upon my collection. :D
He sure was an amazing player when he was younger! What was his illness again?

I've mostly heard recordings of him in the later years, still wonderful as always though.
The Wandering Minstrel being one of my favorites. Kind of eerie to listen to though, too long to explain why though, but that's one of the reasons I love the Album! (Someone talked about a voice sound heard while he was playing tunes, which apparently came from the chanter)

lots of young boys playing on ronan browne's own youtube site - lots of tiny hands straining, but successfully, to play ginormous flat chanters - what an opportunity, getting your start on the pipes from such a master.

Some annoying foreign noises sometimes.

I removed the old version of two films I had posted to YouTube and tried to improve the sound. This new versions have been EQ'd and are now louder also. I know it doesn't sound like it but it is actually an improvement. I hope you enjoy them!
