James, you are just the BEST! Wish you were coming to Friday Harbor again this year. Maybe next year?? Can't wait to play more tunes with you. SO HAPPY to hear you are recovering. All my best wishes and prayers for you.
Get well soon James! I played a few Friday Harbor sessions with you in years past, what a pleasure it was. No matter what tune I kicked, you picked it up in about a half second and away we went. It was a total blast! I'm looking forward to the next sesh my friend.
He told me how you drove that great distance from Omaha to Kansas City to hear them. He sends his very best regards to you and thanks for your good wishes. That was a Fingal concert with Randall Bays on fiddle, James on box and Dáithí Sproule. He'll write when he feels better.
Hello Skip. Great stuff. I'm sorry to hear of your medical condition. It hasn't affected your playing any. All the best with your recovery and perhaps we will get to jam again someday. Mac Campbell Port Hawkesbury, Cape Breton, NS. from back in the days of Ryan's Fancy.
Definitly my favourite video, I just love those reels! I just don't know if I'll ever be able to play them as fast and well as you do! I'm happy to read than your health is back. Keep posting great videos ;)
I bought one of these in 2007 (Castagnari Kriss III) and i just got a middle reed block fitted in it. So it was LMM now it's MMM but i've got the option of swapping the reed blocks over any time i feel which is great. I've just had it also tuned a bit wetter by a tuner in Birmingham it sounds better now than the really dry factory setting it was. Really cracking playing here by the way love that first reel.
I started to play it during the mid-sixties and it was not really popular even then.Sounds like another Fr. Kelly tune and it was the other one that most people played..I also have it on a cd "Sweeter as the Years Roll By"It is a nice box tune and you should feel comfortable playing it.Best of luck at the Fleadh.

I remember James with his brother Seán (from the Chieftains) playing in Dublin/Clare in the 60's. Lovely box player. ♥
