Does anyone know the name of this slide? I got it at a session, but I've never been sure where the beat comes in this tune and I want to find a recording of it.
I've often wondered whether the anacrusic ambiguity you sometimes hear in slides owes its existence a transitory Galego-Portuguese presence in SW Ireland.
When need arises a name might too, as when a recording is in the can and there's a want of something other than 'gan ainm' for the sleeve notes... It has happened many times and likely will continue, more often for recordings, but also in print...
I didn't know the name, either, but I knew I'd heard it either from Jackie Daly or Brendan Begley, so I just listened to a few seconds of each track from their albums on my iTunes until I found it.

Re: Tune name
John Murphy, track 5 on Brendan Begley's "It Could Be a Good Night Yet" http://www.thesession.org/recordings/display.php/731
And it doesn't appear to be in the database yet, unless it has another title.

Gary, you are now officially my hero. I've been looking for the name of this tune for *years*, not even months - *years*. Thanks!
