To kick off the new year, this week we have selected some of the highlights from the earlier part of 2008. First, banjo maestro Gerry O’Connor plays two reels: “The Bag of Spuds” and “The Copperplate”, which were recorded in Gerry’s home town of Nenagh in October 2004, after the release of his CD “No Place Like Home.” Gerry is now in the final stages of completing his new CD.
