I saw the other one.

I have always known this tune as the Wild Irishman. It's not too hard but it's a good rocking standard for the sessions. I don't hear it much anymore but I imagine it's time for another wake up call.

Have fun.

Mark

Yeeeee ha!!

'Me with the floorshow
Kickin' with your torso
Boys getting high
And the girls even more so
Wave your hands if your not with the... Wild Irishman!'

Thanks, MC, great TuneJockey!
We all wanna rock TJ!
