Fiddle solo, John Muller - piano, Columbia E7396. Muller charmingly doubles the melody in the second part of the Harvest Home, which Coleman plays in a very distinctive Sligo setting, chock full of his rippling variations. It is a shame the recording is so scratchy, and that he wasn't a bit closer to the microphone. The second tune was recorded by Coleman's student Hughie Gillespie as Parker's Fancy. In modern times Sligo flute maestro Seamus Tansey recorded it as Jim Coleman's, after Mike's fiddling brother, who was an even greater musician, according to some accounts.
