Ed Reavy of Cavan and Philadelphia was a prolific composer with many fine tunes to his credit. 
Unlike many of his composing brethren, Mr. Reavy did not hesitate to give names to his tunes. 
That fact alone merits this humble effort of mine in Mr. Reavy's honor. (FYI ITTL tunefolder 52 
contains all Ed Reavy tunes in print. If you like Ed's music, have a visit - www.capeirish.com/ittl/

We had been living in Falmouth on Cape Cod for a couple of years when we 
noticed one day that a local pub had been sold and renamed "The Irish Em-
bassy". It quickly became notorious (in a good way, if such a thing is possible) 
and was the scene of some wonderful concerts and sessions over the years. 
After a couple of ownership and name changes, it's morphed into a "sports 
bar". Yawn . . . sic transit etc etc. But thanks to Dermot, Tommy, and Joe for 
getting the whole thing started as the first trad pub on the Cape.

Jack Doherty was a well-known supporter of all things Irish here on the Cape 
until his passing in October 2006. He was also a dedicated member of several 
local veterans' organizations and had the reputation of being the man to talk 
to if you needed help of any kind. I'm sure his kind soul is enjoying all the 
tunes in Heaven right now!

To know Jimmy Kelly was to love him (although it usually took a little time to 
get used to him!). His banjo style was a lively combination of Irish traditional 
and American jazz (similar to the Flanagan Brothers). There's a sample of 
Jimmy's incredible playing on my Tune Vault site (link below) . I kept telling 
myself that I'd sit down with Jimmy one day to find out how he did it, but - 
as in so many other things - I waited too long.

Fiddler Johnny McGreevy was one of the most respected members of the great 
Chicago trad music scene up to his death in 1990. His positive influence remains 
to this day as the musicians he taught now pass the tradition to younger folks.
The title of the tune calls to mind one of Johnny's favorite expressions.

This tune was written in memory of the great Kerry-born fiddler Johnny Cronin, 
who passed away in February 1991 after an interesting (but not sufficiently long) 
life. Anyone who ever knew Johnny has at least three funny stories about him. 
Under a rough exterior, Johnny had a great heart, as his thousands of friends will 
attest. It was a privilege for me to have known and played with him. God rest his 
kind soul.

Our former home town of Falmouth is the birthplace of Katherine Lee Bates, composer 
of "America the Beautiful". There's a granite statue of her on the front lawn of the town 
library, and at night it's illuminated by a spotlight. We were having dinner in a pub across 
the street from the statue one foggy night when a young friend of ours glanced out the 
window, suddenly turned pale, and nearly choked on his burger. It took a few minutes 
for him to get his breath back after we explained to him what had been looking at. (Poor 
Katie DID look a little spooky that night!)

blue but still refusing to admit that they were freezing! We always had a 
great afternoon, but the kids are no longer kids and the house with the pool 
was sold 11 years ago. But we still have a lot of fond memories of those

Kilbaha is on the Clare side of the Shannon estuary. Looking across to the 
Kerry side, you can see the famous "Cliffs of Dooneen" that the song cele-
brates. In the days of sail Kilbaha was the location where the Shannon river 
pilots would board incoming vessels, hence the title of the great shipwreck 
ballad "The Five Pilots of Kilbaha" ("the wind sang high on the rocky coast, 
to the dance of the restless tide"). The pilots still guide ships in and out of 
the river, but their boarding station is now upriver in Kilrush.

This tune was composed for my West Clare banjo colleague James O'Halloran. I met James at the Irish Embassy pub here on the Cape back in the 1980's, and for some reason I thought he was a farmer when he's actually a contractor. I decided to keep "Farmer" in the name anyway, since "Kilkee Contractor" didn't sound quite as "trad"!

This tune was inspired by Greg Johnson, a fine multi-instrumentalist 
who lives with wife Robin here on Cape Cod and runs the long-standing 
Saturday session at the Olde Inne. Greg was one of the first musicians
to welcome us when we first move to the Cape in 1979. I composed this 
to sound like one of the classic "ragtimey" hornpipes in the Ryan's 
collection.
