A Kerry Slide

The link on the details page is wrong--it links of a (Kerry Reel).

I believe this slide is Danny O''Shea's, although it is played a bit differently on this recording than the posted ABC.

Check it out at: http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/1517

This recording has been one of my favorites since I bought it in Ireland about 10 years ago. The box/banjo numbers are particularly tasty.
