Despite what you may think from the title, what you can readily tell from the melody is that this wasn't written by flute-player June McCormack...
For this, the story is basically this:
About a month ago, I went to O'Flaherty's Irish Music Retreat for my second year, and June McCormack was the guest instructor for flute. There were some good tunes and techniques I learned in her classes, and am breaking some bad habits now, too.
Overall, she is a great player and teacher and did a great job teaching, so the last day of the retreat, I went to a quiet, empty building and wrote this tune for her. And since it's thanksgiving, I figured I'd post this one, because I'm thankful for her teaching.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is already an existing tune, because tunes don't usually come as easily to me as this one did...
Anyways, hope you all like it!
