Thread: The Peeler and the Goat

    Default The Peeler and the Goat

    Here's a lovely slide that I first learned on the concertina from Cormac Begley. I was messing around with it this morning in a few different keys and discovered I really like it in C minor on the mandola. Enjoy! Cheers!

    Great stuff, Colin - as always!
    All my life I wanted to be somebody, now I realize I should have been more specific.

    Lovely playing, Colin. I really like the way you build the tune up as it progresses, then bring it back to that gentle finish.

    Quite fast for a slide, almost a hornpipe with the resulting pointed rhythm. Lots of character and energy, making the pick bite its way through the phrases. Hoping the peeler got the goat in the end to make himself a bodhran...
