On this edition I'd like to say a last Goodbye to music teacher, pianist and composer Ger McNally, paying tribute to his music with tracks from his album “Hiatus” added by snippets of an interview he gave when he visited my show last summer and there is some Jazz Ger chose that night plus a couple of tracks picked by me, which I think Ger might have liked.
Your lovely music stays in our hearts, Ger. RIP
It was a pleasure to know you.
