Listen to The Bearded Fiddler

Notes

Farley was a great tramp fiddler who roamed through Monaghan and Cavan on fair days. His daughter sold the family wares as he played to the delight of their customers. Ed recalled one day that Farley played so beautifully that the daughter threw her arms around him in a burst of spontaneous joy. Ed never forgot the wholesome feelings expressed there, nor did he fail to recognize the life-warming secrets shared by those who love the music of Ireland.
