Has anyone posted this clip of box player Joe Cooley (cf: Cooley’s Reel) blasting through a reel back in 73? Presumably its the same evening that his one LP was recorded, when he returned from New York a month before he died.
GREAT clip! Notice how the playing isn’t blindingly fast but still moves along with tons of spirit?
Cooley’s is just about my favorite reel, so it’s nice to put a face on it’s author.
Do you know if that LP is available anywhere?
I just found it listed on Phillipe Varlet’s Celtic Crossings website, but I haven’t fired off a message to see if its really in stock. He’s usually pretty at getting stuff that other outlets can’t find or don’t carry.
