Been paying close attention to Mick O'Brien's playing on "Kitty Lie Over" and the SoCal Tionol CD. And been trying to fix my tendancy to rush.

Brian McNamara's version of "The Sunny Banks," Benedict Koehler's 3-part "Jenny Picking Cockles."

The Bothy Band version or the other one in D? I've seen the D tune titled as Farewell to Eireann.

I know this is old advice, but it really is a good idea to listen to this one sung as well as the playing on the NPU vid.
imo. Liam Clancy always did a reasonable version.

As to thread topic, I'm playing a couple of favourites - Jenny's Wedding and Trip to Durrow. Figuring how to get past the similarities in their first parts.
and I've gone back to 'The Dublin' trying to tighten up the popping (A lot)

I haven't heard the Bothy version. I've listened to the Sean Potts version, and that is close to the version I am working on.
