Sean Ryan's

This reel comes from Danu's "When All is Said and Done" cd. They call it Sean Ryan's, but cite it as "traditional." Sounds Scottish to me, and in the family of tunes that includes Bunch of Keys, Paddy on the Turnpike, Fairhaired Molly, etc.

Danu plays this one at a moderate, deliberate pace.
