He provided O'Neill with some information concerning obscure Connacht pipers: "Through the kindness of Officer William Walsh of the Chicago police force, we present the names of some Connacht pipers unknown to fame, as they had never rambled beyond the confines of their native province.
Though a native of Oughterard, County Galway, Officer Walsh is an accomplished “Highland piper,” and a writer of pipe music."
"Martin Moran was a native of County Mayo, and Charles Daly, though born in Clara, spent most of his time in Galway.
There was another piper, known only by the name “Eunachaun,” who for neatly thirty years enjoyed enviable popularity in Iarconnacht.
No wedding or christening could be properly celebrated without the piper and his music in that district or in Connemara in the “good old times."
