Air, jig and reel

Wingnutz · Mar 11, 2019

With St. Patrick's day coming up, I put together this little medley
The first tune is Eleanor Plunkett by the harper O'Carolan.
Second tune is a jig I learned from The Bothy Band - I was fortunate to attend their debut concert in Dublin and have been a fan ever since! It's actually a slip jig (9/8 time).It has the unlikely title of Give Us a Drink of Water.
The third tune (reel) is Farewell to Erin, which has been performed by many but I listened mostly to the great fiddler Kevin Burke for my source.

Great playing ! Your playing style is very unique.
Could the secret be all on the thumb with the silver ring !

Super set Laurence. I love slip jigs and have never tried that one, but I will.

Thanks Brenda! The thumb pick helps give it some drive, that's for sure.

That was great! And to think, I almost skipped it because I saw "Air, Jig and Reel" and thought it was in the Luthier's Lounge.

Glad you liked it Joseph - I was even a little surprised at how well the uke was able to handle these tunes - chalk one up for the ukulele!
