I learned this from a CD of traditional tunes County Clare that arrived in the mail this week, "The South West Wind," by Peter O'Loughlin and Ronan Browne. The liner notes say, "This is an unusual tune that is associated with Paddy Barron, the dancing master who first travelled around Clare over sixty years ago. The O'Loughlin household in Kilmaley always extended a welcome to him."
Love this tune - started learning it last night and couldn't stop playing it, until my brain fell out. Good one!
