News Update 5/25/02 O'Keafe's Slide, Coinnleach Glas an Fhom

[TonyHiggins]

5/25/02 I'm revisiting O'Keafe's Slide, this time on low whistle. It's followed by an unnamed reel I heard on a '70s era vinyl record by The Wild Geese. (saved in misc) And, from '110 Ireland's Best Slow Airs' book, I found Coinnleach Glas an Fhomhair (On the Stubble Fields of Autumn), an Ulster love song, and Cailin Deas Cruite na mBo (The Pretty Girl Milking the Cows). From the book, "The long-departed lover returns to find his true love still bemoaning his absence." Yeah, right. Tony Higgins
