The Humours of Glynn (waltz)

[Colin Botts]

At the request of a friend, I decided to revisit this waltz I originally learned from John Carty while I was studying at the University of Limerick. Here's my solo version of the tune, performed on a 1917 Gibson A-4. Hope you like it!

Great tune, gorgeous sounding mandolin!

This is great! Should it be "The Humours of Glin?" I believe "Glynn" is Welsh, whilst "Glin" is a town in County Limerick (where my father's family is from).

The tune name is spelt as "Glynn" here in Ireland, it's a surname you come across here a fair bit. I've never seen the tune spelt as "Glin".

Thanks for the clarification. I actually learned the tune from John Carty, and he never spelled it for me. Just played it on his banjo (brilliantly, by the way).
