Yeah, well, I was playing through some collections and I came across this and started taking it through it's paces ~ "Hey, I know this tune!", dyslexic that I am. But the name didn't tweak and the memory didn't kick into gear. So I went and spent some time, considerable, trying to see if I could find it on site here. Nothing came up with the goods, not the title or variations of, not half a dozen measures in two different keys... Such effort, anyway, I did end up transcribing some other ways with it, and adding another key for it... So, not all wasted time. I also enjoyed playing it and now all these other transcriptions in comparison...so I'm happy. See ~

This tune first came to my attention through the wonderful Siobhan Peoples cd.
I could -and have- listen/ed to this particular track on a loop all day; for all eternity really.
It's one of these...
Included in O'Neill's 1001.
