I'm putting on a Father Kelly's (2) without first posting an FK's (1).  I know that this is the wrong way to go about things and I also know that this tune isn't either of the tunes which I think really are called Father Kelly's.  I saw this tune with the FK tag on it in a book.  If anyone has another name for it, please let me know.

Thanks for the name, Harry. I'm glad it wasn't Nelly.

I've been trying to be organised by recording tunes in advance and then posting them over athe subsequent days. This is OK when I have names for them but I've labelled this mp3 file as "ganainm17-18" and I can't really remember what it is. I suspect that it is a reel from which appears on pages 17 - 18 of the book "A Trip To Sligo". If I'm right then it's a good flute reel and the Trip to Sligo version comes from the playing of Colm O'Donnell (although I have neither access to the book or to a sound source to check). On the other hand it might just be Danny Boy or Nelly the Elephant. That mightn't be so bad either as I'm probably posting too many reels anyway.

I've not much to say about this one.  It's called by this name in the "Trip to Sligo" book.  Some of it (the tune and / or the book) is fairly pleasant.

Here's a barndance by way of a change from all the tunes that aren't barndances.  This tune is called "Jamesy Gannon's Barndance" on a record of Michael Gorman, the Sligo fiddle player but then so are about half a dozen other tunes on the same recording.  I've also heard this tune in more Northern climbs such as Donegal.  Here it is in no geographical setting at all.

Here's a popular reel.  I've seen this reel called "Dillon's Reel" on www.thesession.org where someone has written that this isn't called the Bellharbour Reel.

Wharever about its name, some of its notes are pleasant enough.

Here's a good simple jig.  As for the sentiment in the title; well ...
