The Hornless Cow
This is straight out of O'Neill's (No. 686) and a tune I always play when I page though the reels. I was initially attracted to the name, but love the flowing nature of this tune. I never hear anyone play it in sessions.
Does anyone else play this tune?

The Hornless Cow
I play this tune on the fiddle, flute and whistles and it's definitely one of my favorite tunes, for the reason you noted above. It's a Donegal tune and it's played pretty fast. It's a good song for anyone's repertoire. Kurt

Yes, I do, but finding someone else who knows it isn't easy! I like to put Templehouse Reel right after it.
