I learned this tune from Kevin Crawford's "In Good Company" CD. He plays a Bb flute so I used the Amazing Slowdowner to change the pitch. - Joyce

Oh yeah! The piper at my session keeps playing this tune, and I was wondering why I keep hearing it in Bb, so I looked it up here,and now I remember! I haven't listened to "Good Company" in a while, but apparently it's still stuck in my head.
