Another reel from Josephine Keegan's superb collection "A Drop In The Ocean". I'm not so sure about the "Bddc" phrase in bar 5 of the second part ... Simply to repeat the "Beec" of bar 1 sounds better to my ear. But who am I to argue ... try both and see for yourself.

I'm just trying the tune out now and I agree. Is the "Bddc" definitely correct?

Is this a *composition* of Josephine Keegan?

The B-part would appear to be inspired by The Merry Sisters http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/165 .

But it's a gem, all the same.
