Om Mata

While playing a jazz gig at Jack & Lydia's Resort in Lake Villa, IL. I had the pleasure to meet someone who was excited to talk with me about my other passion, Irish/Celtic Music. Later in the conversation he told me who he was and what he had done. Not only is an amazing Irish musician, but also an amazing composer who wrote this tune which has been played around the world and recorded by some of the great Irish musicians. His name is Johnny Harling. So, in honor of Johnny, I arranged his tune “Dusty Windowsills”.
Please enjoy this arrangement and check him out. If you want to find out more about Johnny go to Johnny Harling - The Irish Tune Composers' Pages.
