"The Professor, James Morrison"

Presented by his former student, Veronica McNamara, The Original Hand Written Manuscripts For Irish Fiddle

154 handwritten pages of tunes, to make a total of 148 tunes (some run into several pages), all in the handwriting of the legendary fiddler, James Morrison, also showing bowing directions and other notations in this facsimile edition. There are shown six composition books belonging to the late Joey Flynn and his sister Kathleen. Veronica herself was also a student, but her books were lost. These are nearly identical to those books she had. Every week, as she would go to her fiddle lesson with "the Professor" he would write in pencil, another tune in her book. Here we have preserved these important historical manuscripts for the enjoyment and education of Irish fiddlers and other Irish musicians everywhere. As one person put it when he first saw the book,

"It's like James Morrison is alive again!"

and another who received it said:

"Thank you so much, it is a beautifully made book and feels like the master is still talking through these pages."

Shipping Rates have just risen here in the US as of 5/12/08. We were just doing priority mail boxes as they were very safe and sturdy, but here are all the options: For Priority Mail to Ireland & UK $27.00 this does carry insurance. We can, however send Priority Mail for $11.95 in a thin cardboard envelope the P.O.supplies, but it will not be insured and we cannot replace if lost or damaged, you may add for an extra $1.10, proof of mailing on our end, to total $13.05. We do feel the $27.00 priority is safest however, but unfortunately nearly the cost of the book itself. Generally there are no problems with mail though, so you may use your best judgement. Please specify in your order what shipping method you prefer.

For US mailing, priority flat rate has gone up to $9.80. We can fit up to four books into one box however so if you have friends ordering this is the way to go. You may request media mail which is $3.58, with insurance $5.28, and insurance is advised as it is the only way we can replace a lost or damaged book, we will out it in a padded envelope and it should be safe, especially with insurance options. Sorry for all the new shipping confusion with their ever changing rates. Please specify in your order what shipping method you prefer.

To order a copy, please send $30.00 and shipping fees, and please state in your order exactly how you would like your book shipped and add the appropriate fee. (For Ireland & UK, please contact ahead to make arrangements, we will accept credit cards only for overseas orders to save the fees on your end for bank conversions into US dollars) make out the check to Agnes Gebert (Veronica's married name) and mail to:

Iris Nevins, P.O. Box 429, Johnsonburg, NJ 07846. For overseas or Canadian orders please email irisnevins@verizon.net
