The Copper Beech by Finbarr Dwyer
Here is another Finbarr Dwyer composition which comes from the 1971 recording "The Best of Finbarr Dwyer." I was tempted to post it in G mixolydian because of the frequent use of F naturals but the Fs appear sharp more often so left it in G major.
It's similar to a few tunes written by East Galway's Paddy Kelly and not a tune that would immediately strike me as one of Finbarr's.
I doubt this is the same tune that appears on Josephine Keegan's recording "The Keegan's Tunes." I think all of those tunes are Josephine's own.
There may also be another Copper Beech. I vaguely remember seeing the title elsewhere and it could have been a Scott Skinner or James Hill tune. That may not be true now, memory is a little fuzzy.

Well done, that man !
Great, Paddy - you're saving me a lot of work. [ Look out or the "Coyle's" reels in the next few days. ]
