learnt this one a few years back at a tenor banjo workshop that Kieran Hanrahan gave at the Feakle Festival - at the time I couldn't read ABC's and had to learn it all off by ear while the rest of the class had ABC's in front of them for guidance. It fell out of my repertoire for awhile but is back in now! Here's the ABC's from thesession.org: X: 1 T: Tongs By The Fire, The M: 6/8 L: 1/8 R: jig K: Gmaj |:GBd cAF|Gge dBG|cec BdB|ABG FED| GBd cAF|Gge dBG|cec Bag|1fef gdB:|2fef g2d|| |:gdB gdB|gfa gdB|gfg eag|fef def| gag fgf|efe def|gdB AGA|1BGF GBd:|2BGF G2D||
What a cool tune - and played very well, as always. (Hi Wilson!!)
Well......that does it.....I'm now looking for a tenor guitar!! Outstanding! Jim
that's a sweet tenor guitar Jill! i really wanna get one... Great tune as well
thanks everyone! You know, for awhile my "tenor fever" had abated and I'd thought to meself - "Sure, I've my mandolin and two nice tenor banjos - do I really need a tenor guitar on top of all that?" Well, the answer is a resounding "YES!!!" It's a fantastic addition to the arsenal of GDAE instruments, no buyer's remorse here!!
This goes out to Jill... a great source of Irish tunes.
Great triplets!
