Sunday afternoon I played a dance at the Goderich Celtic Roots Festival with Josh Kinn of Kinnfolk. Since we met for the first time about five minutes beforehand, there were some hasty negotiations on what tunes we had in common. (“Yes, The Castle is a great jig, but I can't play it!”) We settled on "Willie Coleman’s”, and then the caller decided to repeat the figure, so we played it through 12+ times.

I got "The Flowing Tide" from Mike Rafferty at a workshop back in 2006. One of my favorite hornpipes.

Here's a new jig I wrote in a traffic jam last month, "Honey Pup", played by Shannon Heaton backed by her husband Matt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsLd5MZ6OQ0&t=2501s

Just discovered the "Black Sunday" flute solo is in G (at least as it appears in that 1980s live "Locomotive Breath") and seems to be perfectly playable on a #SimpleSystemFlute in D...

And since recording in my mother's living room was going so well, I did a second video. Here's "Michael Preston's", which I got from Peter Horan and the South Sligo tunebook "The Mountain Road": https://youtu.be/TENU55289a4
