Chicago fiddler Edward Cronin was born in the 1840's in Limerick Junction, County Tipperary, and was one of the finest fiddlers in the city in O'Neill's time. He had a large repertoire of tunes and allowed O'Neill to transcribe many of them in weekly visits for several years. Unfortunately, Cronin could also be suspicious, and tended to hold grudges. O'Neill's transcribing with him came to an abrupt halt when Cronin perceived he had been slighted in some way. | |||
