from Méabh Ní Bheaglaoich Compositions
One reason I gave this tune this name is because one of my favourite traditional songs to sing in Irish is “An Cailín Bán” which is a song that I learned from the singing of my father, Séamus Begley and we often sing it together and it reminds me of him.
I also named this tune for my lovely female Golden Retriever, Saimmí (pronounced Sammie).
