Lancer’s

Another slide from Gerry O’Connor’s "Journeyman" cd. This is the second tune in the set starting with The Day the Ass Ran Away and ending with Tickle Her Leg with the Barley Straw. It’s different than the other Lancers and Donegal Lancers tunes posted in the archives here.

I like how simple Gerry and Donál keep this—sliding into the low E3 each time, but not rolling it, no fireworks, just solid, lively playing.
