Hope I didn’t do a repost, because the man died three days ago. A search both on this website and using search engines turned up nothing.

“No cause of death was given.” Well CONvid most likely since it is now apparently the cause of ALL deaths. RIP sir.

Long Black Veil with Mick is a classic.

I got to see them a number of times, at Carnegie Hall (used to be a sort of St. Patrick’s Day tradition, until the new performing arts center in Newark NJ opened), and once in Montclair High School where I got to meet them; Derek Bell (harp/dulcimer/piano player) was still alive at that time.

The Chietains are fabulous. Sad news, he was a giant in music. I’ve got to get out my CDs…for a reminiscence with a little Jameson. Love their music.

May he have been in Heaven, an hour before the devil knew he was dead.

Sad news. Saw them live once when everybody was still alive. I’ll have to give one of their CDs a listen.

Had the pleasure of twice seeing them perform live when they were still in their prime. Their CD with James Galway is a masterpiece of Celtic music

All the great Irish musicians are dead now except Van, and we have to endure Bono..

RIP, Paddy.
I was lucky to see them twice, once in Galway where Van Morrison made an appearance, doing three songs with them from this album, which is a great album (IMHO):

I have the Irish heartbeat CD.

I have four Christmas CDs - Bing Crosby, The Judds, a collection of various artists, and a Chieftains concert with Nanci Griffith, Elvis Costello, Jackson Browne, and others.
To: Steve_Seattle
Good!
Yes, I bought vinyl, as I still like that format. Old habits. But I do have a large CD collection as well.
