about

Having grown up in the Philadelphia area, I was very fortunate to have known the late Ed Reavy, Jr. and his wife Mary, both supreme dancers and responsible for keeping many old ceili and two hand dances alive in the area. Being also of Cavan lineage, Ed’s music has always been one of my first loves, and so the first two tunes are his compositions and can be found in the 1971 collection Where the Shannon Rises, compiled by Ed’s son Joseph Reavy, who is still alive and well in the Philadelphia area. The second one was learned from Seamus Ennis and was recorded under the names Stay Another While and The Fair-haired Girl. West Clare concertina and fiddle master John Kelly had it as Mary Delaney’s and recorded it in 1968 on the Gael-Linn LP Seoda Ceoil Volume 1. The third tune is also from Seamus Ennis via his 1978 Tara LP The Fox Chase. It seems to be a version of the well-known Sligo/Roscommon tune Ah! Surely(see track 5).
