The Ghost D makes me crazy :D
I was trying to persuade Paddy Keenan to add that to his repetoire after the gig at the Jack Russell Brewery. In Robbie Hannan's recording of it, the ghost D sounds almost like a wah-wah pedal.

I just had a go at it the other day on my seldom used border pipes. I was stunned that they worked after so much neglect.

New additions:

Bucks of Oranmore
Dmix version of Toss the Feathers
Atholl Highlanders
A reel on a Danu CD that's definitely not a piping tune given the bouncing from upper octave A, to, B, to Csharp. Neat.

I'm currently learning Sean Ryan's after I heard Ausdag's version. I liked it and the Monaghan Twig so much, I decided to learn them. Thanks Ausdag!
