This brilliant set of reels formed the fitting finale to a tribute concert in honor of Philadelphia Irish music composer Ed Reavy. Performing were fiddler Jim Eagan, bodhran player Myron Bretholz, banjo player Peter Fitzgerald, and guitarist Andy Thurston. You'll also hear a pretty amusing set of thank-yous (almost as long as the set) featuring Myron's dead-on imitation of Kevin Burke.
