I posted this tune in the key of "D" a while ago. I figured it would be nice to put it up here in the key of "G" (In which it is commonly played). The Ceili band that I am in plays it 2 or 3 times in "G" and then makes the switch to "D". It gives the set a really cool touch.

Tulla

Thanks for the comments Josh. I like seeing the same tune in different settings and keys as you've done here. And it helps to know why and how you approach the tune--going from G to D for instance. I'll give this a try at our local session.
Thanks,
Will
