Hmm, I am surprised this one wasn't in the data base already. I have it on a Willy Clancy CD, and have heard it at the session I go to off and on. I decided to learn it ages ago, but have let it slip from my repetoire. Thanks for reminding me of it, I should re-learn it.

Good Stuff

I fell in love with this tune when I first heard it off a Willie Clancy cd, and now I love playing it even more.

An Dochass

It's on an album called Dragonfly by An Dochas -- it's a great take on an old classic.

I've been hooked on this tune for weeks. I love playing it after "Lark on the Strand": http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/1634

By the way, it's on Jack and Charlie Coen's "The Branch Line" CD that this tune appears as "Larry Redican's."
