A former pupil of Chalmers Doane‘s and a lifelong lover of all things ukulele, John Kavanagh was always willing and eager to share his love of music with others. Small Rooms: Rags, Jazz, and Encores for Uke was nearly complete when John died in May 2009. To honour his memory and to celebrate his life, John‘s friends and family pitched in to complete Small Rooms using the tracks that John had already recorded. The result is a beautiful, intimate portrait of a man and his music. John Kavanagh passed away May 19, 2009
