FIDDLE4, Jim, was asking about this polka, and it is not just one, but several, and as a slide too. I couldn’t find the slide already on site, so here it is. I don’t know if there is actually a recording of the slide take on this anywhere, but hope someone may know of one, and may have a different take on this as well to add. Slides are favourites of my wife’s ~ but at old fashioned reasonable tempos… 😉
Matt Cranitch and Jackie Daly have this on their recording “The Living Stream”, which credits the slide version of this tune to Mr. Daly himself.
I love this lyrical version of “Oh, Nelly, Nelly” at 2:59 by Julie Fowlis, Éamon Doorley, Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh, and Ross Martin!
