Eddie Burke Tunebook

One year ago we laid a dear friend of mine to rest. This Sunday a group of his friends put a tune book out in his memory and honor.

A clip of his playing, and some of the sets he played…

I find a few things ironic…Eddie never read music at all (where have I heard that before?) and some of the sets and tunes that people would say ‘Eddie loved’ weren’t particularly his favorites. But he’d know that someone in the session liked them, or was trying to learn them, and he always made a point of playing them for that reason.

Tyg, that’s quite a tribute.

Thanks,

I’m sure he would be glad to know that you guys are helping other people by making some of the tunes he played known to others. I bookmarked it. It will be a nice resource. I really enjoyed the MP3! I like that Ceili band music, although I know very little about it.
