1 Curlew/Green
Hills of Tyrol 2:54
In Ireland, "The Curlew" is sometimes called "My Granny Drowned
in the Pool at Lourdes." The second reel comes from the fiddling
of Terry O'Neill. Hammered dulcimer, flute (Chris Norman),
bouzouki, & guitar (Dan Blum).
- 2 Crested
Hens/Laride 3:42
I learned this version of "The Crested Hens" at the Victoria
Pub in London. It was first composed as a bourree by a
Breton hurdy gurdy player named Chabenat. The larides
that follow are dances from southeast Brittany. We mimic
the Breton bagpipes (biniou) and bombarde with a fiddle
and concertina in our arrangement. Hammered dulcimers,
fiddle (David Kornblum) & concertina.
- 3 Willie
Coleman's/Bank of Turf 2:46
A jig and slide. Flute (Karen Ashbrook), bouzouki & bodhran.
- 4 Princess
Royal/Galway Bay 4:37
This slow air appears to be a Scottish version of the
well- known Irish tune sometimes attributed to Turlough
O'Carolan. I learned it from fiddler Marty Somberg. The
hornpipe comes from the fiddling of Tommy Peoples. Hammered
dulcimer.
- 5 Johnny
Doherty's Marches/Providence Reel 6:44
These two marches can be found in The Northern Fiddler
and on Johnny Doherty's record Bundle and Go on
Topic. Brendan Mulvihill is our local source for "Providence
Reel." Hammered dulcimer, fiddle & viola (Brendan Mulvihill),
guitar (Dan Blum), bodhran & bones.
- 6 Dusty
Windowsills/Tripping Upstairs 4:07
"Dusty Windowsills" is a jig composed by Chicago pennywhistler,
Johnny Harling. David has added a nice rhythmic twist
to "Tripping Upstairs." Hammered dulcimer & bouzoukis.
- 7 An
tSean Bhean Bocht (The Poor Old Woman) 5:10
The title of this hornpipe is an allegorical reference
to Ireland. We play it as a round. Hammered dulcimer,
concertina, Celtic harp & guitar (David Kornblum).
- 8 Four
Mile Stone/Fox in the Glen 3:08
My version of the "Four Mile Stone" comes from the fiddling
of Altan's Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh. "Fox in the Glen" was
written in a Breton style by harper Sara Park. Hammered
dulcimer & guitar (Dan Blum)
- 9 Lady
Lorraine 3:10
Eugene O'Donnell composed this tune for our dear friend,
Lorraine Kirk. Hammered dulcimer, fiddle & guitar (David
Kornblum), & second guitar (Dan Blum).
- 10 Knock
on the Door/Argyle Socks 4:35
Because the band Shegui learned this tune while tucked
inside a bathroom, it won notoriety as "The Convenience
Reel." Its proper name is "Knock On the Door." Katy Abrams
wrote the second tune. Hammered dulcimer, pennywhistle,
concertina, bouzouki, guitar (Dan Blum) & bodhran.
