Aka. Out on the Road

Good tune, GIAN!!! I was just thinking about requesting it. It's also on Kevin Crawford's "In Good Company" and Dervish's "Midsummer's Night."

How zen, I just learned this tune last week, it must be flying around in the ether. After it I play the Lomanach Cross ~G3A B2BA|GBdB c2 ... which was a set of Conor Tully's I believe.
