Lovely contribution Andy! Thanks for sharing.

It's always nice to let these old tunes live again. Never heard of it, but it reminded me a bit of "Norwegian Wood".
Aloha,

Thanks! This is the more typical speed for this jig tune. The melody often is paraphrased or changed in many versions I've heard.
