The Old Road to Loughrea/ The Kilnadeema Maestro/ The Man with the Stories
Carl wrote these reels in memory of Carl’s great friend Joe Burke. Carl had known Joe for many years and Carl would say the main highlight was winning the All Ireland Trio competition in Boyle. Kathleen Collins played fiddle with Joe on accordion and Carl on the piano. Carl always remembers that the piano players had to play the tune and no vamping – difficult when you had to play Dowd’s Number 9 in G minor!
