The contrast between the natural C and the sharp C in the first part of this tune creates a nice mood.

Because of this "blue" touch you could play this tune as a slow, moody piece. Still, it's a lot of fun to play at a good, fast session pace.

I've included some variations for the opening F phrase in the first part of the tune.

I love this one after Dr. Gilberts.

I've heard this also done nicely between Banshee and Ships are Sailing

Although it has some C sharps, I think the mood of the tune is Dmix rather than D major.

True. A related tune, The Colliers, is in Dmix. http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/2154
