Captain Thompson - notes

Post by elbogo »

Just listened to Ronan Browne playing this at Peter Hunter's website, played on a Boxwood B, made by Peter (and Sam?)...

Anyone know where I can find the notes to it? Thanks.

This tune appears as a song on Cran's "Lover's Ghost" recording. I've enjoyed it a lot myself.

There's and old Irish saying that says pretty much anything you want it to.

My ability to silently sight-hum a tune has improved immensely, I'm pleased to report.
And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')
