This one is usually played as a slow air. Co. Cork box player Jackie Daly rearranged its melody and with rhythm and tempo, made it into a lovely hornpipe, which he recorded on an LP with Kevin Burke on the Mulligan label. It’s now a tune that needs more attention, because of the old Gaelic sensitivity of its melody. Good work, Jackie!
