Sergeant Early's Dream - another setting

Love this tune. My version is fairly different. Mostly the Kathleen Collins version with a bit of Paddy Canny's and Randal Bay's settins tossed in for flavor.

Cheers,
Ken

Sergeant Early's Dream

Here's a sound clip of solo fiddle (me) playing Sgt. Early's Dream--nothing fancy, just a quick take on the tune: http://www.soundlantern.com/UpdatedSoundPage.do?ToId=3599&Path=SergeantEarly%27sDreama.mp3

It's in O'Neil's in A major, which is a totally different sounding beast, and goes up to the high c#. This is not a pretty note on your average tinwhistle, or fiddle for that matter.
