- (continued from previous page)Irish music.
He was a very handy man and he made his own flute. When he was very old just before he died, he hid the flute and it was never got since. Many people tried to get it but failed.
He died at the age of 102 years, about 30 years ago. His father before him was also a great flute player. Unfortunately the art died with him because he was never married.
Farm labourer.
Told to me by my father who often played the flute with him, also the bag pipes aged (40).
