Viva la Altan

James Kelly does a really lovely setting of this one on his perhaps less than creatively named "Traditional Irish Music" -- it's on the first track along with a Gan Ainm and Lads of Laois and has been on my list of tunes to learn for quite some time. At some point, I'll try and transcribe the Kelly setting and post it here.

Well, here it is, such as it is -- I'm still not real great at the whole ABC thing. Plus, of course, trying to transcribe James Kelly's settings is trying to hit a moving target -- possible, but there's always something else he's doing that you just can't quite catch...
