Almost Reel
I first heard this reel on Lúnasa's "Otherworld" album. I was looking for a tune to submit in order to learn ABC notation and decided to submit this one. It's my first. I hope you like it.

Composer
This tune was written by bagpiper Chris Armstrong from Scotland. Donogh Hennessy says that Lunasa learned the tune from Chris's album "Notes from Ma Heid" which he recorded when he was 17. It got it's name because it was orignally written as a hornpipe.
