You're Welcome PashaDragutReis. He was the only music teacher I ever had and even then I only had a few lessons but I always remembered what he taught me. He was a lovely talented man. I wrote and recorded a song about him in later years called the Ballad Of Josie McDermott

Josie was a Sligo Man and was born in Coolmeen, Co Sligo .Tommy was also from Lough Arrow , Co Sligo. Josie lost his sight and was known as the blind flute player but it never stopped him composing tunes and also plays and songs. He moved to Ballyfarnon in later years.
