Skip Healy
For any or all of you that own the Skip Healy album "Purgatory Chasm," this tune is first in the last set. He calls it the "Camel's Hump." It sounds really cool and Arabic-like if you play it with B and E flats. Just thought I'd add that.

And we thank you for adding that.
I hope Brad didn't hit you too hard

Not half as hard as Skip will hit him when he finds out that this is not the Camel's Hump. ;)

C'mon...
hey Brad, you wanna fight? Huh? Step up! haha, just kidding. Actually, I heard this tune on the album "Wind Among the Reeds" by Tommy Keane and Jaqueline McCarthy. As soon as the last tune came on, I recognized it immediately, although I couldn't remember where I heard it from. I looked at the CD jacket and It said "Paddy Fahey's." Then, it dawned on me...Skip Healy. I played Skip's CD and this CD and they matched. So there! HA! Proof!!!! :P

Listen to track 16 again - I don't think your breathing enough when your playing that low-whistle & the Oxygen deprevation is starting to kick in. Please don't beat me up. ;o)

Yepp...
I listened to it again, dude...same tune except for a couple ornaments. :D
# Posted on January 10th 2002 by Josh Kane
Josh -they aren't even in the same key, listen to my transcription of the Camel's Hump, than listen to your transcription of Paddy Fahey's. They aren't even similar. They are two different reels, maybe you ment to post a different tune?
# Posted on January 10th 2002 by Mad Baloney
These two tunes do make a decent set though.

Touché
Hmmm...maybe youre right. Do you think that one may be a variation of the other? That may be the case (I know about 3 versions of the Blackthorn Stick, so why not?).
# Posted on January 10th 2002 by Josh Kane
and Skip's version and Keane's version both sound somewhat alike.
# Posted on January 10th 2002 by Josh Kane
I'd like to find out, I still think they are two different tunes - Ask Skip at your next lesson. I'd like to hear what he says.

Yepp
Will do!

Paddy Fahey - Martin Hayes' Lonesome Touch
This doesn't sound like the same tune. The sheet music for the version Martin plays would be very helpful for one of my friends

Martin Hayes' Paddy Fahey's
Just do a search for "Paddy Fahey's". It should turn up three or four different tunes. One of them is the Paddy Fahey's that Martin Hayes recorded.

Martin Hayes's Fahy's
Mike, it's in the tune archive here, as posted June 21, 2001--that will help you identify it from the other Fahy reels also posted. Be aware that Paddy Fahy (some spell it Fahey) has been a prolific composer but doesn't often title his tunes. So they all go by his name. *Dozens* of them.

Fahy's
A musician from Belfast told me a few years ago that this tune was originally written in the key of "F", and that in his opinion, the flute players had ruined it by transposing it into "G"!
I have heard a tape of Belfast flute player Gary Hastings playing this tune, in "G", on an RTE radio programme. The title given to it by the presenter was "The Ould House".
