*During track 19, Coleman and his uncredited piano player are completely out of time. It seems that the piano player started half a beat late and refused to accomodate Coleman’s playing, or otherwise could not hear him? Coleman repeats the third and fourth part of the jig, and then adds an additional part.

“11. The Fingal Trio (James Ennis, pipes; John Cawley, lfute; Frank O’Higgins, violin)”

John Cawley, by the way, plays a fine “lfute”.

Same track as I posted above 11 months ago from a different compilation. Flute duet by John McKenna and Eddie Meehan recorded in 1937, with Frank Fallon on piano.
