Michael Coleman

But there were lots of, you know, fiddle players who were over there when recording was just starting to be... like in the Gemma's Light Geist.

And probably the first one was Michael Coleman.

And he recorded on, I believe, Wax Cylinder.

And I think he was the first commercially available fiddle player ever of, you know, Irish music.

And then the students had students.

So I had two fiddle teachers when I was younger, Tony DeMarco and Brian Conway.

And Brian would have been a student of Andy McGann, who was a student of Michael Coleman.

So there's a very strong lineage of music.
