McHugh's Reel

A simple reel learned off Cathal McConnell's "On Lough Erne's Shore." It's played after a beautiful set dance called Andy Kerrin's. Somewhat reminds me of The Morning Star.

The A Part is Terry Teehan's all over again.

Yeah, but Terry Teehan's is more closely related to The Tap Room.

So is this McHugh's. Kissing cousins.

For what it's worth ...

This is how I play the tune these days.

I was going to transcribe the next tune too, but will leave it to you, Paddy.

Please post "Primrose Path"

Actually, slainte, I would be grateful if you would take the time to post the next tune -- it's the "Primrose Path", right? I got both titles mixed up and taught McHugh's to other people as The Primrose Path. It's on at least one site by that name and I see myself mentioned there as the source. Either I have forgotten "The Primrose PAth" or didn't learn it in the first place. Alas, I no longer have the album, so if you can, please post the tune.
