Cutting a Slide
I like this tune & glad you posted it. Fred, does the album credit one of the Cunninghams as the composer of the tune, or is it trad?
I tried playing a low B instead of low A in the 6th measure of the A part of the tune and it sounds pretty good that way.

Not positive, but I think this is one of Phil Cunningham's compositions.

Yup, it is a Phil Cunningham tune, which I learned a long time back as "that Relativity reel" so I'm glad to finally get the name for it. Sharon Shannon plays it beautifully on the "tigh Neachtain" tape.
