The first part of this tune seems to have about as many endings as prople who play it.  It's a cheerful sort of tune for all that.

Here's a melodic sort of a tune.  It used to be the theme tune of the TG4 programme "Geantraí".  It may well still be but it's on past my bedtime these days so I haven't seen it or heard its intro. for a while.

This might be related to Scotch Mary's tipple choices.  It's definitely related to the Dublin Reel.  I've heard this tune called "The Cock's Tail Reel" too.  As for this rendition (very ordinary), I can't quite recall when I played it but I hope it isn't so bad as to be offensive.

Ta CW for reminding me of this tune on C&F. I'm never too sure about C# vs. Cnat in pt.3 but I love this reel.

As for Mary's taste in whiskey (or whisky) ... what's wrong with Power's or Jameson's? (apart from the paranoia they induce)

This was recorded by Tom Morrison in 1928 and probably by several other people since.  Maggie may be in them and I'm note sure that I'm out of them yet myself.

This is the 500th posting I've put on this site so I'm away for a lie down and to think of a few tunes for the next thousand.

I once heard someone I know describe 2 women as being standing like "frillies in a field" but I have had little exposure to paddock based arums.

This is a fairly popular tune which seems happy to have as much or little done to it is one may prefer.

Here's a tune which seems to be going through my head a bit recently.  I think this os because Raidió na Gaeltachta are using it as the theme music for their pick of the week show "Rogha na Seachtaine", which often seems to call out from my radio when I'm washing potatoes for dinner.  With the soon to arrive winter here, the tap water will get colder and I'll get sore hands washing the spuds.  Three months of crunching at gritty tubas awaits me if I'm to save my fingers aching with the cold.

Here's the tune I used to hear at sessions all the time played along with Dinky Dorrian's. For some reason it and Mr. Dorrian's reel seem fairly absent from the sessions I hear these days. Sometimes absence makes the heart grow fonder. In my case it just makes my recollections of this, and of "Dinky's", grow vaguer.

In any case, here what remains of my recollections of it. I'm sure www land contains some less time-bevaguened versions.

The Dermis can be taken from the feline by various means.  This one might be less painful (but you'd really have to ask Tiddles).

'E's between the 'A's in the second part seem the ease the journey a bit.  Just a notion but it might sound normal enough in a crowded pub.
