Well… he’s quite knowledgeable, and he’s an excellent player, but ‘hip’?.. I don’t know…

Who? Ray? Yay!
Delrin, I truss.

… too bad he missed out on the big free love and pyschedelics of the 60’s… for the most part. ![]()
Oh wait, that’s not the hip you were talking about was it? ![]()

JJ would have been proud of that one ![]()
Our man Laban then..yeah.
A mighty player, and a scholar and historian, thrown in as well.
A wise and witty man who not only knows, but lives, the crack.
Takes a decent photograph as well.
But above all that, above everything that is wonderous about the man and his many posts, is the fact that he understands the absolute joy that comes out of a Generation whistle.
A drink is about to be raised in your general direction.
Slan,
D.

Congrats, Mr. Laban.

Peter, I like the dry-goods.
Thanks for all the help and for answering so many questions!



Sure! Try to convince me you didn’t inhale.
5,000? Dang!
Peter Laban’s Hip would make a good name for a tune..
I can imagine an instructor fifty years telling a student “Peter Laban’s Hip” is suppose to have a gracefully lilt, not a limp!
Wow, 5k, that’s over three miles!
Edit: speling
Thanks Peter. I love the smily under a box. I’m taking it.
My kid almost has hair like that sometimes.
Congratulations, Peter
I’ve benefitted greatly from your wisdom on many occasions, and I thank you for that. Also, your photography has been a welcome addition on many a dreary day. Thanks for taking the time to do all that you do here on C&F. ![]()

Peter, thanks for giving us outsiders an insider’s view of your corner of Ireland and its music.
And making the exiles envious.
