    That was awesome Harry! Plus now I have a tune to learn on what is proving to be an extremely rainy day here in Oakland - this one has been on my "to learn" list for quite awhile.

    Nice one Harry, this tune goes well with Julia Delaney, Sgt. Early's Dream and Tuttle's. This one also sounds good at slower speeds which works well with my abilities.



    Played on my Sobell mandolin.

    Lovely version there David! I'm still working on it - sat down today and ended up working on three tunes at the same time: this one, then got distracted and was working on The Brown Coffin, and then attempted Paddy Lynn's Delight - I guess that would qualify as "multi-tasking"!!

    Harry, what a great tune. Thanks for your great version.
    David, I think you could probably play any tune at any tempo and make it sound just right (and you certainly do on this one!)

    Had the camera set up to record this week's tune so thought I'd have a go at this one as well..

    Just trying to be a jerk, I found one version of this reel to match the beautifully serene versions you all provided:
