Congratulations to Chris Maguire and Jim McGrath! Chris , you’re a great player. I’m going to send your performance around and let all the boxplayers in America hear you. My Father is from Armagh and I’m delighted and honored to hear you playing one of my tunes! It’s Yours Now!
Keep up the Great Music!

Great playing, Chris! In NY, we know Billy’s tune as The Controversial. I’m seeing and realizing more and more how tunes can take on so many different names in their lifespans.
Keep it up!
