Listen to The Glen Fiddler

Notes

Ed was told there lived near the edge of the glen a fiddler unlike any he had ever heard. To this day he wonders about that solitary fiddler and the strange tunes he played beside a distant glen in Cavan. Although he never saw him play, Ed has heard some of those same strange tunes in his dreams. And they have become his finest compositions.
