The song is great (ofcourse), but when i watched this video for the first time, i thought "what the hell" the audience were not really swept off their feet (they are stiff as a poker, no reaction during his playing).Just at the end he recieves applause.But after 4 or 6 times watching,i saw more n more details. At first the other musicans in the front, then the woman in the white blouse and blue waistcoat and at the end young guy (2:33), look at his fingers. ;-) They all liked this song, me too.
saw michael cooney at a lake placid, ny festival several years back. hes so awesome and he knows my good friend theresa. hope you come back to saranac lake real soon!!beer at the belvadere.
Excellent! Mesmerising playing. I couldn't figure out where the beat was coming from, unless the mike was picking up the foot tapping of all the people listening.

I hope one day I can tap a foot while I play. Right now it's all I can do to not fall off the chair.

Took a workshop with Michael a few weeks ago at the St Louis tionol. I think he plays even better, now. Amazing player and a sweetheart of a man.
Thanks!
