Foxhunter's

This is a cool little slip jig I learned off of a recording by Duncan Wickel and his aunt Beanie Odell. The two of them play twin fiddle on the album Red Wellies.

For the Love of Music

Here's a slip jig written by the amazing Liz Carroll.  She plays this on her album Lake Effect - and in the set she plays this tune first in G and then in A.  I'm playing it here in A.

The Booley House

We spent the whole day in the yard again planting flowers and moving mulch.  It was a good time.  When I finally sat down to learn a tune, I found one of the simplest tunes in my itunes library.  This version of The Booley House comes from the album, "Welcome Here Again," by Martin Hayes and Dennis Cahill.  It's a little different than other versions people play of this tune.

Promenade

I don't think this lovely little tune is played enough.  I could listen to it all day.  I learned it from Kevin Burke (again... he's my favorite fiddler right now) from a 1978 recording with Michael O'Domhnaill. (check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7XzqjndH-Q)

The Night Before Poor Larry Was Stretched

I think the name says it all.  Well, really the lyrics say it all, which you can view here.
