Ed McDermott's Handy

Trad, Arranged by Bok

        "Cherish the Ladies" is an Irish tune. I learned it (imprecisely) from Lani Herrmann, who learned it from that fine Irish fiddler, Ed McDermott, in New Jersey.
"Garryowen" was learned from Charlie Richards of Camden, Maine, who used to be a fiddler in the Old New Englanders, and from Everett Grieve, who kept them all together.
"Haste to the Wedding" is another tune Mr. McDermott plays, though I learned it from Charlie Richards.

Ed McDermott's Handy is recorded on the CD Peter Kagan and the Wind
