..very sad to hear of the loss of one of our true gentlemen musicians. John will always be remembered not just for his incredible musicianship, but also for his kind and gentle nature. Heres a photo he allowed me one fine Autumn day in Mother Reillys of Dublin; always a smile and always a true gentleman Dubliner. May he rest in peace and forever be Dancing In The Moonlight..visit The Legendary John 'Irish' Earle at MySpace to show your respect and support..slán..
