A Tune A Week

A reel I’ve been getting bits of at the Madison sessions for a while and finally decided to learn in earnest. As I heard to my chagrin after I recorded this, I’m still pretty awkward around the low E and F#! Lots of tricky bellows work there.

A polka off of Jackie Daly’s recording “Traditional Accordion and Concertina Music from Sliabh Luachra,” from Ossian. This is the first tune on track 9, evidently also known as The Tournmore. I learned it because I already knew the other tunes on the track and wanted to be able to play along all the way through. It’s not the other polka called Jim Keeffe’s on track 1, nor the slide called Keeffe’s on track 2!
