3571md My mother knew Joe Cunneen and I had the pleasure of meeting him in the late eightys. I thought he was in need of a wheel chair since he was a child. Can any one clarify? Thanks.

@clocprior

My mother was good friends with Joe in Quilty. He had a crutch and/or cane until later in life when went to a wheelchair (with umbrella attached.) My mother was a Downes from Seafield.

Fantastic! The fiddle, the whistle, the bodhrán, the toe-tapping sandal, the marvelous old gentleman stepdancing! It is all brilliant. Your archival clips are real treasures, Michael. Thanks for this. Straight to my trad Irish playlist.

That was AMAZING!!!

The old man stepdancing (with 2 canes, no less!) was very "inspiring" !

Just goes to show, the "miraculous power" of good music! ; D

Reminds me of me great granddaddy dancing. And LAAAADIES AND GENNELMIN. Marilyn Monroe on the whistle there.

Thanks
