Lovely tune - is this your own?
I think the end of the high part is not perfect yet - so I add to the traditional process of transformation:

This is an old trad tune. It's in O'Neill's.
A comment from feadogboy would have been nice.

Feadogboy speaks!
We did indeed learn this from O'Neill's, while searching for tunes having to do with Ballinamore. Ballinamore, Co Leitrim was where fiddler Ed McDermott hailed from, our first introduction to "the pure drop"
As swisspiper notated, the more we played it, the further it got from the "canonical" version.
Recorded in 1985, posted in 2007, commented on in 2011. Charter member, International Procrastinators Society!
