Kay Girroir
This is third in a set following the old reel and a different version of drowsy maggie (posted in comments section) from the patrick street - "street life" album. I think it should be in Bdor?? Anyway, its a good tune, with lots of slide potential and a great change in the second part, especially with the G natural.

Similarities with Duncan Johnstone?
The first two bars of the second part are pretty much identical to the first two bars of the second part of Duncan Johnstone just recently posted. Perhaps Joey was influenced by this piece?
