Hammered dulcimer, guitar (Al), soprano saxophone, clarinet, alto flute & bass. An Irish jig.

3 Down the Hill (3:42)
Hammered dulcimer, flute & guitar. A traditional Irish set dance first heard from James Kelly and Paddy O'Brien, two fine Irish musicians now living in America.

4 Tyrone March/Cooley's Reel (6:29)
Hammered dulcimer, soprano saxophone, fiddle (Robin), button accordian, guitar, fretless bass, dombek, shakers & ashiko bass drum. An Irish march from Tyrone County in the Northern province of Ulster, and a well- known reel and popular session tune.

5 Skye Aire (3:53)
Hammered dulcimer, fiddle (Bonnie), guitar (Al) & bass. A Scottish air from the Patrick McDonald Collection of Highland Aires (1784).

6 Drummond Castle (2:53)
Hammered dulcimer & guitar (Al). A Scottish march.

7 Humours of Kilclogher/The Sheep Beneath the Snow (7:41)
Hammered dulcimer, whistle, wood flute, Celtic harp, guitar (Al), & bass. An Irish jig, and a tune from the Isle of Man played first as a lament, and then in an original variation as a waltz.

8 St. Kilda Air/Jenny Nettles/St. Kilda Reel (4:51)
Hammered dulcimer, fiddle (Bonnie), Celtic harp, mandolin, & clarinet. The St. Kilda tunes are from the Patrick McDonald Collection of Highland Aires. St. Kilda is an island located 70 miles off the west coast of Scotland. Jenny Nettles (a type of spider) is a Scottish reel.

9 Joe Cant's/John McKeown's/Willafjord (2:44)
Hammered dulcimer with damper pedal, cittern, guitar, congas & bodhran. Two Irish reels and a reel from the Shetland Isles off the coast of Scotland.

10 Mummer's March/The Burning of the Piper's Hut (5:16)
Hammered dulcimer, soprano saxophone, clarinet, guitar, cittern & congas. This Irish march, also known as "The Droghedy March," can be found in Francis O'Neil's Irish Minstrels and Musicians (1913). The second tune is a Scottish march possibly referring to the harsh treatment of the Highland clans after the defeat of Bonnie Prince Charlie, when kilts were banned and pipers were outlaws.

11 Sergeant Early's Dream/Hills of Ireland/Gusty's Frolics (5:09)
Hammered dulcimer, flute, fretless bass, cittern & bodhran. A traditional Irish reel played like a dream, as the title suggests, followed by two Irish slip jigs.
