Hey Everyone!
Does anybody happen to know the name of the tune played after the words in Las Vegas In The Hills Of Donegal? Here it is on YouTube, in case anyone is unfamiliar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00uBXUX1AbA
thanks!
There's a great version of this tune played on an early Furey Brother's album by Davey Arthur on banjo. In the credits they call it ( wait for it! ) Davey Arthur's (davy?).
The tune is called "las Vegas in the Hills of Donegal" by a band called "Goats don't shave". It gets a lot of airplay on the country and western radio stations lile Dublins Country mix.
try google "Goats don't shave" for more info if you have to.
Thanks southpaw, but Las Vegas In The Hills of Donegal is the name of the song. The tune I was referring to was Tam Lin/The Glasgow Reel. I did try googling it, but I couldn't find the name of the tune, just lyrics for the song.
yeah there's two versions of that, one's a song, the other's a tune. people generally like the tune version, since it has such a unique progression, but you have to be careful where you hear it. The Session has a semi-decent transcription, but I'd recommend trying to find a better one. if you get the chance, try playing it in octaves with a friend, sounds terrific.

Oh dear. Perhaps I'd better just say it isn't my taste. Tam Lin suits them perfectly though ...
