|f_source_for_notated_version="Early" [O'Neill]. Chicago Police Sergeant and uilleann piper James Early was a member with Francis O'Neill of the Chicago Irish Music Club, and a highly esteemed musician by O'Neill and his peers. He was often the playing partner of fiddler John McFadden. Early hailed from Cloone, near Carrigallen, County Leitrim, born in the late 1840's where he learned to play the flute and fiddle, although he stopped playing when he came to America, still a boy. Later in life (after he joined the police force) he took up the pipes under the tutelage of his friend and relative, James Quinn, and it is through Early that many of Quinn's tunes made their way to O'Neill and were preserved.
