Notes: This is number 222 in O'Neil's Music of Ireland. It's a simple 3/4 tune mostly in quarter notes. I've "banjoed" it up quite a bit - making it eighth notes everywhere. The tune doesn't sound particularly Irish to start with, but the banjo treatment here really makes it sound like something from the Old West. The process is probably a more conscious attempt to emulate something in modern times that evolved naturally historically. I've rated the difficulty here as beginner despite a small amount of drop-thumbing. I quite like this version, and I hope you do too, but now I have to decide whether this is just the starting point, and whether or not I should continue on with some fancier variations. Cheers!
