Pennywhistles: Doug Sparling
Bodhran: David Shaughnessy
Composer: Traditional
Recorded: 2005

A set of reels (the first being “For the Sake of Old Decency,” picked up from a Michael Tubridy album of the same name) I put together one evening. You can tell I don’t know them real well. And somehow this track got squashed with compression at the studio, so you can hear all my clunkers with more clarity. I should probably be embarrassed by this track, but Kirk already knows I don’t really care :)

Another rainy morning, lazy mood, and I am listening, Doug, to the Old Stone Bridge tracks and enjoying! I am not a musician, just a lover of good music! Thanks for this and the many unheard yet! Carol Riggall
