I got this tune by ear off a De Dannan album. I think they call it the Chicken Reel. I used the Amazing slow Downer program you can get free off the net. All comments welcome

The Chicken Reel

I am so proud of this website. We were having a little question today about including the Chicken Reel in a set of reels.

I sez "if it's in the session tune bank, then it's by ned alright to play it"

Darned if it's not right there.


and that was the end of the discussion.
