I'm learning it for the spring recital in May. Ohhh I love it. I can't find it on youtube on a fiddle but here it is on a mandolin.
Opportunity is often missed because it wears suspenders and looks like hard work.

Cool, if you want to pair it with another hornpipe for a set, I'd suggest "Off to California" which similar enough that one would blend pretty seamlessly into the other - -I think. That's one of the coolest parts of celtic music is that they'll be playing along and all of a sudden you notice that they're now playing a different song -- like these guys.

Here's the music if anyone wants it. It's so much fun. After just one day of serious practice, I've gotten the a part down pretty well.

Cool! So, we'll all look forward to the first video of it on the fiddle, by you!

Great song!! I understand violin music to be played with the same notes as on the mandolin.

Lol yes it is very common to go from one tune right into the next. I don't know why this is done so often in Celtic music but I did it naturally before I knew it was a "thing".
