Not often heard
Despite being recorded by Altan, I don't hear this tune about much, except when I play it. I learned it c. 1979 from Gary Hastings who gave me the title "The Twins". I seem to recall he said it might have been composed by Arty McGlynn.

To clarify, the linear notes of The Red Crow album say that this is a composition of Arty McGlynn.
