A jig in the canned goods aisle

One of the world's most renowned Celtic fiddlers is a neighbor. As the Courant points out this morning, Martin Hayes is happy to be the anonymous face in Waldbaums.

But he's anything but faceless in the world which enjoys and respects the ancient music of the Irish.

Hayes, and his musical partner, Dennis Cahill, perform in a benefit concert for WWUH, in the Celtic Airs concert series, on Saturday June 21.

A bit of good news in the Wall Street Journal

For your consideration on St. Paddy's day: Irish fiddling great Martin Hayes, and West Hartford resident, is profiled in the esteemed financial rag.
