		John McSherry's life and death are diminished in the worst way if we allow this tragedy to degenerate into a "witch hunt" based on numbers on a scale.
		John McSherry, and all of us who are suffering from this disease, deserve far better than that as a legacy.
		Lastly, please let us not remember John McSherry as the "fat umpire who died on the field." Instead, let us remember him simply as the man he was: humble, forthright, highly competent with a love of the game and of life.

	John McSherry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Patrick McSherry (September 11, 1944 — April 1, 1996) was an American umpire in Major League Baseball who worked his entire 25-year career in the National League from 1971 to 1996.

		McSherry worked the 1975, 1982, and 1991 All-Star Games, for which the umpiring crew was comprised of three American League umpires and three National League umpires during the years 1949 to 1999.

	John McSherry and Donal O'Connor: Tripswitch.(Sound recording
		This album's namesake reel is a metaphor for this exciting collaboration between veteran Uilleann piper John McSherry and up-and-coming fiddler Donal O'Connor.
		McSherry begins with a dry flute, O'Connor provides a swingy fiddle, the tune bounces to a bridge, then McSherry ups the volume by switching to the pipes.
		McSherry and O'Connor earn the right to make us wait because they infuse their music with excitement through skillful playing rather than breakneck pacing.

	Michael McGoldrick and John McSherry
		John McSherry comes from a well-known Belfast family, plays uilleann pipes and various whistles and first came to notice through the band Tamalin, which also included his siblings Tina, Joanne and Paul.
		While neither John nor Mike has ever really moved too far from his roots, At First Light is very much a return to first principles, reflected especially by the choice of material.
		John's brother Paul propels the ensemble with some typically spruce guitar and the whole kit and caboodle very much sets the album's tone.

		John played in an unusual family Celtic pop band called Tamalin.
		The majority of the tracks feature the pipes so there are a lot of banshees flying around, but for the most part so quick you can't catch 'em.
		One track which is truly slow and mournful and exceptional as well is "Doinna" or on the Compass web page I think "Dionna." John bends notes here in a continuous scale, one is reminded of a the sound of great sea mammals.
