One of Jack McGuire`s favourites

This is a flute tune but sounds nice on any instrument .I like playing it slowly and it`s great for learners.I am now wondering,however, if I should have named it in the key of G.Jack McGuire was the father of Sean the fiddle player and came from County Cavan to Belfast-He played in lots of the ceili bands in the Belfast area on Flute and Piccolo.

Esther's Reel

This tune is already in the database with the parts reversed. I play a version very similar to it, but I don't reverse the parts. Anyway, here it is. http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display.php/2522

Thanks Jack

The reversal of the parts is obviously why it didnt show up when I put the first couple of bars into the advanced search!
