Norman Lachapelle: L’irlandaise and Improvisation

Luthier Pierre Erizias sent me this video of Norman Lachapelle playing the tune “L’irlandaise”.

The song is sheerly musical, and not a note is misplaced.

“I think Normand is not getting the props he deserves,” Erizias said. “He is a refined and seasoned musician that could walk easily with the best out there for sure.”

I think I have to agree!
