The Musicians

Cary S. Wolinsky

National Geographic

One of the most celebrated fiddlers comes from a poor Catholic town called Pomeroy in Northern Ireland. John Loughran was blinded in an accident a few years ago and his four year old neighbor Mary McCullough has been his eyes, helping him look after his sheep farm. They have become great friends and John teaches her to play tunes on a variety of instruments.
