Shake A Leg
This is one of John McCusker's tunes, off his latest cd, Goodnight Ginger. I emailed him and he said he was more than happy to have it posted here. "It's great when other people play your tunes," he said.
What I like about this reel is it's simple structure that still manages some interesting and new phrases. The first part is reminiscent of The Banshee (aka McMahon's), and then the second half goes it's own way--not exactly new territory, but blazing it's own trail.
