Oops - wrong title!
Me again! When I posted this tune, I originally gave it the wrong title, which was "The Happy Piper". Oh well, not to worry!

The Bus Ride
I like it. It has a nice balance between traditional and modern, which doesn't appear forced or calculated. I'll stop before your head swells beyond its elastic limit.
It feels more like a hornpipe than a reel to me, with all the triplet passages and the predominance of arpeggios.

sounds like a bus journey between Armagh and Galway, like, lots o twists and turns: first it's jolly and picturesque but soon the bus blues catches up on you and there’s only one hope left for you: your t Bus Stop http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/1810 ! And when you finally get off you swear you’ll never take that d** bus on that d** route, but of course you do!
