One of my all time favorite celtic tunes that my friend Rik Barron taught me while visiting and recording with him and his lovely family up in Prince Edward Island, CANADA
Rik has a great clawhammer banjo version of Foggy Dew and Sally in the Garden on his Powerful "Bound for the Ice" CD and was the inspiration for my version of "Foggy Dew" recorded with with Emory Lester/Guitar on our "Acoustic Campaign" CD 2003
