The Hairy Chested Frog

Now who can resist a title like that? Composed by Bobby Casey. The only recording of it I'm aware of is by piper Tommy Keane.

Bang Your Frog on the Sofa

... would make a nice medley?

Hey--Kevin O'Reilly taught this in his fiddle class @ Willie Week last year.

I recorded it on my 1st cd, 'Uilleann Piper'. But I got the tune from a recording of John Kelly and Bobby Casey playing and I mistook it for a John Kelly tune.
It is a great tune and the name is super too!!

I'm getting the cd's reprinted soon so I'll be sure to correct the name
