This I know as Sein Reid's, a great piping tune.

Many other titles

A slightly different version is already in the database. It goes under under titles such as Gilbert Clancy's (Willie Clancy's father), Sean Reid's, The West Wind and it is also known to be an older version of Colonel Frazier. I've mostly heard the f's in part two played natural but pipers and whistle/flute players usually play it sharp (eg Mary Bergin, though Catherine McEvoy plays it natural).
