First Post...


Hello all,

This is my first post to "The Session", my new favorite website! Please feel free to let me know of any mistakes on my part; I'm new to "abc" format and ITM, so...

I heard Solas do this tune, and fell in love with it. I don't have a Bozouki, so I play it on my mandola (CGDA) with a capo on the second fret. Or, if I only have my mandolin, I just play it in the key of D. Hope you like it.

This was written by Seamus Egan, I think. Great piece, although I think you're notating some of the sixteenth notes as quarters. Good transcription, though.

A few changes in the transcription abc

I just learned this tune off the CD. I modified the abc a bit so that it shows as a tune with three parts, and a long third part with 20 bars. I also changed a number of the notes to correspond to what I heard on the CD. Great little tune!

And one more thing

The Ballerina Jig Ends on the first section of the tune, that is on the "A part".
