The Short Grass

I learnt this tune off Harmony Hill a while ago, but didn't have a name for it until I asked someone who played it in a session last night.

Put On Your Clothes

Looks like that might be another name for it.

The Short Grass

I believe this is a cousin of The Kinnegad Slashers: http://thesession.org/tunes/display.php/1258 Or are they basically one and the same tune?

The a part of this tune is like a variation of the third part of 'the slashers', although it's in a different key. The B-part of this tune is it's own thing altogether. I think these two tunes are a little bit too different to be considered variations on the same tune.

I've just remembered there is another tune similar to this one. The Rooms of Dooagh: http://thesession.org/tunes/display.php/2277
