The Flowers of Spring

This is a beautiful hornpipe that doesn't get played as much as it should. Not the easiest tune but far from tricky as well, this is one of those tunes that feels "good" to play lots of juicy parts & nice cadences throughout.

James Morrison

James Morrison recorded this one, which he played as if he got it straight from O'Neill's collection.
