Anybody got a title?
I got this from a very battle beaten session tape of Tony DeMarco (at Paddy Reilly's in NYC around 1997), he played it in a set with Larry O'Gaff's. He was really going crazy with melodic variations so I tried to keep it as simple as possible while keeping the good stuff in it too. There may be phrases which he just came up with on the fly that I may be taking as the basic framework of the tune; but I think I this is the 'bones' of it. Those double stops are really nice on the second time through on the high bar (B part) but they should be used sparingly.

Thank You
That's good - I wasn't too far off. I'm going to have to get that Karen Tweed book. Sounds like it has *all* the good tunes in it.
