A tribute to the late Sean Walker- by Rick Muir, fellow musician

On March 20, 2006, a great sadness befell the Irish community of Rochester,
NY -- that was the day our beloved Sean Walker lost his battle with cancer.
For decades Sean (also known as John) had shone as the beacon of Irish
music in this corner of America: our finest Irish fiddler, a member of our
Tom Finucane Branch of the Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann, and one of our very
few direct links to traditional music back in Ireland itself.

Sean Walker was born in October of 1934 in the hills of Rooskagh East, not
far from the town of Newcastle West, in the County Limerick, Ireland, the
youngest of four children in a strong, loving farm family, where hard work,
faith, and music played central roles in their rural surroundings.  read more.....
