Notes

One of his tunes had to pay tribute to these hills; not the Fork Hill region that Paddy Kavanaugh celebrated, but the same nearby hills of Monaghan that Ed's mother and his Aunt Ann spoke of in childhood stories. Ed's mother played no musical instrument, but she could "lyddle" all the great tunes of her region. This love of the tradition she passed on to Ed.
