I guess I will always like this tune, even though it has had a lot of exposure.

Great Irish session tune.

Whiskey Before Breakfast TOTW 11/8/13. G tuning but tuned way low: d#A#D#GA#

This haunting melody was written by Jay Ungar in 1982 and used in the Ken Burns documentary on the Civil War. It is done on a Bacon Flat-top plectrum.

It was written as a goodnight waltz at the annual Ashokan fiddle and dance camps held by Ungar

When I originally learned this I used clawhammer tuned to double D. Then I learned it in open G 3-finger picking style. Now I'm trying it again with clawhammer after more than 30 years. It's coming back to me and I still think it's amongst the prettiest tunes ever written. The story goes that Sheebeg, Sheemore was the blind harpist's first composition in 1691. It's meaning is "Little Mountain, Big Mountain" and was named for a location where a battle between fairy peoples allegedly took place.
