A Tune A Week

I’ve learned something which is roughly Mrs. Crotty’s version of this one. She plays it in G, with some tricky triplets and a good bit of octave doubling. It sounds good (when she plays it, I mean!)

Here’s one I dug up out of the depths of my skull to rework the fingering on. It’s surprisingly tricky with my default fingering - lots of bellows changes in awkward places. Good practice! (I tell myself.)

Suggested to me the other day, and I found it on a Kevin Burke fiddle CD. Probably the same one that had The Earl’s Chair, now that I think about it. Learning from a fiddle recording is Tricky.
