The Milestone at the
Garden, reissues of 78s to CD, is a must for anyone
interested in Irish music. The historical notes by Dick
Spotwood and Phillipe Varlet are thorough and fascinating.
The 25 tracks comprise a wide cross-section of both regional
and individual styles. Fiddlers Paddy Canny, Dennis Murphy,
Neil O'Boyle and Sean Ryan play unaccompanied. Other tracks
with accompaniment include music by Michael Coleman, Paddy
Cronin, Paddy Killoran, Sean Maguire, James Morrison, Danny
O'Donnell, Frank O'Higgins, Ed Reavy and others. Twenty-one
tracks haven't been previously reissued. Tune
