I recently found out about this website:
Preserving Irish Traditional Music in Chicago: Francis O'Neill
Lots of remarkable information about the great music collector & his life and times. Photos. Some references to other pipers here & there, especially in "The Contributors" section.
Enjoy!

Re: Francis O'Neill - an excellent website
My favorite find on that site is this:
O'Neill never mentions raising livestock!

It displays too big
