Tanga’s reel

I wrote this for the baby daughter of a friend of mine.

Shouldn’t you be in bed by now? We must have messed your sleep patterns up badly at the weekend!

PS say hello to Niamh for me :-)

I like the tune, Donough. The B-part reminds me of part of "The Rambling Sailor" which I learnt off E. and I. a while back. Maybe it’d be nice to lift from the Cmaj tune into this.

Hey it’s only 11pm here but 1am in the morning with you - You should be tucked up in bed.
My God you were awfully quick to find this page. That’s scary. I thought no-one reads the tunes pages anymore.
Niamh says Hi.

There’s a few more on the way as I am putting the links into my profile. Obviously this will take time as I can only post one per day.
This is really a bit of self-indulgence.

Duh I forgot about the time difference. I’m waiting up for my mum to call from the UK.

I’ll learn this tune and make E. and I. learn it also.

This is a fun one. I started playing and it soon wandered into this:

Will I just love your setting. Isn’t it great how someone can find things in a tune that opens it up - for want of a better word!
The Frog is the next reel in the set and I’ll try and post that over the weekend.

Can I have a go too? :-)

Wow this is awesome. I just love these variations/settings - nice one Dow.
