Which are your favorite tunes?

I don't know too many due to I play since 3½-4 months ago, but my favorites till now are maybe Cooley's Reel, Harvest Home and Tam Lin.

It changes. Usually my favorites are the ones I am learning right now. Overall favorite tunes are Dr. O'Neill, The Castle Jig, Ships in Full Sail, Hardiman the Fiddler (jigs/slip jig); Monahan Twig, Bird in the Bush, The Knotted Cord (reels); Her Golden Hair Hanging Over her Back (Fling); Johnny Cope (hornpipe); Amhran an Leahr. Oh, and Garret Barry's. The longer I'll think about it, the more there will be.

I'm in Bloomfield's camp on this one - my favorite tune is the one I'm in the process of learning. Currently, I'm learning "Paddy's Perambulations", which I regard as kind of a novelty tune from the playing of Eoin Dillon if I recall correctly.

I forgot to include on my list Rights of Man (hornpipe), but I think I like it more for the title than the tune (I spend my spare time researhcing the french revolution).
