The Seven Sisters
There's 7 small hills you encounter on the road from Boyle out to Gurteen. You'll find them just after you pass under the railroad bridge. They're fun because it's like driving on a little roller coaster. I wrote this tune that reminded me of the roads in the area after returning from Sligo and I called it, "Trip to Gurteen". When I went back to Gurteen a couple of years later I played it for some folks at the session there and Mae Hernon, (PJ Hernon's wife,) said it reminded her of the "Seven Sisters". I asked what that was and she said, "It's the seven wee hills you go over on the way to Boyle." So my tune had a new name I liked better, "The Seven Sisters".

If you slow it down it has a lyrical hornpipe quality to it.
