A song O'Carolan wrote in honor of Dr. John Stafford, friend and patron, in celebration when he prescribed whiskey to treat depression, after the blind harpist had become depressed when another doctor had him refrain from whiskey for a medical condition.

Now there's a doc, prescribing whiskey quite a thing. Enjoyed this one too!

Really makes the key of G come to life, much like D does naturally.Enjoyed the melody and its syncopated delivery. These tunes are happy and sad at the same time! Good EMO effect.
