Recorded at the home of Roberta and Dan head, River Ryan, June 24, 25, 2009.
Some great playing by both men - nothing fancy, just great music.
I particularly like tracks 7-9: a rocking set of “old Scottish book tunes” in Bb, a very poignant My Cape Breton Home and a Jerry’s only recording (I think) of his Vega Mandolin.

Great album. I bought at the CD release party during Celtic Colours this year. I think my favourite is the title track “Helping Hands” - one of the last tunes that Jerry wrote. It is plain to see that his music will live on 🙂
