Oh jerry….we miss you.

[AnimalRobot]

@hailee601 - I can't remember the name of the specific tune - but it is often played in a set with 'Bear in the Buckwheat' and 'Primrose Lasses' - if you look up those tunes you should be able to find it.

The first tune Jerry composed for his father,He told me that someone wrote lyrics to it and it is(unfortunately) now, forever known as 'My Cape Breton Home'

[hailee601]

does anyone know the last tune he plays?

[tylerhnatuk]

puts a big happy grin on my face to see this! 

[civilwarguyincanada]

The absolute master! Too soon gone; we miss you Jerry.

[gingerfrangipane]

what are the names of the tunes he played?

[Breizh07]

ie Mr Holland, not the drummer - the triplets and birling - when the bow seems to be moving smoothly along?
