The Further, The Deeper
A mighty little jig from Paul O'Shaughnessy and Harry Bradley's duet album. According to the notes, the tune originally comes from John Doherty's playing. It seems listed as "Drive the Cows Home" in O'Neill's and known as "The Maids of Kintail" in Scotland.

Sleeve notes on "The Floating Bow":
John associated this tune with a piper who attempted to make a journey underground through the caves between Maghera near Ardara and Glencolmcille in south-west Donegal. This is the last tune that the intrepid piper was heard to play and according to John he was ‘attacked by some wild animal or some wild beast or something, and he never returned.’
