Track 9

The Lisheen is listed as a jig in the archives. On this recording it is played as a reel. I am looking for the music. And will post it whenever.

Lisheen Slide

It seems that the slide is just made into a reel. Which is not surprising given the range of instrumentation and variety keys used in this recording. Give this album a 10 for listening and feeling.

Unfortunately because of a typo in track 2, this isn't linking to "Farewell To The Dene". I e-mailed windybaer to try and get it edited but to no avail. Oh well, at least I tried...
