Same Title, Different Tune
Very similar to the Heathery Breeze. I think I first saw this in a book, the learned it and just played it whenever, I figured no one at a session would know it. It is a fun little tune.

Old Pigeon
For what it's worth, here is the version as played by Na Fili on their 1971 album, which they call Carnanban. Perhaps they got their version from Breathnach's Ceol Rince vol. 1, as it appears there as The Old Pigeon on the Gate almost exactly the same.
T:Carnanban
B:Irish Traditional Fiddle Music. Randy Miller and Jack Perron.
