One of the first ITM piece of music I ever heard and tried to play

Patsy Touhey plays this screaming fast on a very early recording. Its an excellent hornpipe, and seems like it could be an ancestor of "The Harvest Home," if that is itself a newer tune.

Man, this is probably the first Irish tune I ever heard, as the intro to the Woodwright's Shop TV show. I love listening to that song. I feel like I've found an old friend!
