Another video that makes me think that the guy the banjo player refers to is Tom Hanway, this is one of the first tunes that I ever learned out of Toms book, but I still can't get up to the speed this guy plays at......good stuff.

In fact, I play it more like a straight march, though it's a hornpipe. Welsh hornpipes either have some bounce, or no bounce at all. I got this tune from Celtic scholar Alexei Kondratiev, plus another Welsh Cuckoo tune (with bounce), but this isn't a Welsh arrangement, and it's really a hybrid form, Welsh-American, or Celtic-Bluegrass, which is very cool! I love it! Music from Celtica, a new place, having no definite homeland or center. It's still Celtic though! I could go on, but, that's enough for now.
