He also played the tin whistle for tourists, continuing the longstanding musical traditions of the area. (Marker Number 2.)

Clare, Ireland 1967 (YouTube). <blockquote>It is only thanks to the ingenuity of local man Dinny (Dennis) J McMahon that the Cliffs of Moher have a tour guide, albeit an unofficial one. I can tell 'em all the history because I've been here all my life. (Submitted on May 27, 2026, by Ian Lefkowitz of New York, New York.)
