hello
i was watching this vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_leFY8oFbg
does anyone know the name of the reel at the end:
its a nice wee tune, i like to track down other versions.
my waxy weedgie ears heard this...
X: 1
T: the fast bit
M: 4/4
L: 1/8
R: Reel
K: Bmin

the wounded soldier lying half dead on the battle field about to drift off forever...
then a jaunty priest turns up and reads him his last rights bringing him back to life and the guy gets up and starts dancing!
Can i ask if anyone else has ever viewed McKenna's timing as suspect?
I sometimes get the impression that Barney is a little behind in the music? and i got it in this recording.
Please can i avoid a deluge of Barney-philes attacking me because i accept and value his contibution to one of the best ballad groups of all-time and to reinvigorating a much loved instrument in ITM.
this vid is an exert from the green linnet where barney and tony travelled through europe barney will always start plying chords when part way through a tune thats his style good on ya barney.

Re: macmahon and mckenna tune
it makes sense.
the wounded soldier lying half dead on the battle field about to drift off forever...
then a jaunty priest turns up and reads him his last rights bringing him back to life and the guy gets up and starts dancing!
so many levels to this music!

Re: macmahon and mckenna tune
he does look a wee bit hungover here.
McKenna's timing is what stands out in this clip for me.
that and his tone.
i prefer his banjo style to the "locked in" sound with 4 triplets in every bar.
i like hearing a bit of "wiggle room"
