The Smoky Bar

I put this tune together on the banjo and it seems to sound well and suit that instrument - plenty of rolls on open strings.

Smokey Bar

Very similar to "The Galway Rambler" but in the key of D. Not bad though, I like that it has a traditional sound to it.

Smokey Bar

PS I just went through it on the fiddle which works great, on the whistle I modified it a bit to fit the range & ended up with

& it seems to be a setting that would work for whistles, flutes, pipes etc. Nice tune - good flow to it.
