Three comments

Greengrass

This is the tune following Castlerock Road on Damien O’Kane and Dave Kosky’s "The Mystery Inch" album. A bit of an interpretation since the banjo recording makes it difficult to distinguish ornamentation from melody.

You can add the (spectacular but unnecessary) run in the B part:
