| Brenda Stubbert's Set |
 |
Generation brass whistle in F.
This is originally a set by Capercaillie
called Brenda Stubbert's, but here we only
play the first two reels of it.
Brenda Stubbert's / Jenny Dang The Weaver
You almost can't hear the whistle and I made
many mistakes. Also I didn't really know the
second reel so we should repeat the video.

| Zac Leger - uilleann pipes Jerry Holland tribute |
 |
Just a quick little set of Jerry tunes here
in the dressing room before a show. Couldn't
remember the second tune when it came to it,
so flubbed a little there. Tunes are Brenda
Stubbert's/Just Cruizin'.
For those of you who do not know, the great
Cape Breton fiddler Jerry Holland is
currently in the hospital with bone cancer in
his leg. The will be amputating it soon. This
means a huge loss of income for Jerry due to
the fact that he will miss most or all of his
summer concerts for the year, not to mention
the pain and trauma of losing his leg. Jerry
has written some of most popular and
oft-played tunes in the trad genre, his tunes
are known and played in every part of the
world. He is also one of sweetest and most
generous gentleman you will ever meet. I am
including this little set of Jerry's tunes as
a tribute and also to spread the word about
his condition in the hopes that the many
musicians that Jerry has touched over the
years will be willing to help him out. Here's
a note I received from a good friend of
Jerry's:
Dear friends,
I'm passing along this message from Jerry
Holland I am planning a series of
fund-raising concerts and events, because he
will undoubtedly be losing some work,
although we all have our fingers crossed
about his summer.
You can also at any time send a check made
out to him, and mail to me,
Beth Telford, at 1060 Bent Hill Rd,
Braintree, VT 05060. He has a local
account where I can make deposits for him.
Musicians, please email or call me
if you're willing to help. As you all know,
Jerry is not only a great
musician but one of the finest friends a
person could ever have.
Please keep him in your hearts. He's the
last person who would ask for help,
but he needs it, and that's what friends are
for.
Thanks, everyone,
Beth

Please help spread the word and say a prayer
for this wonderful and humble man!
