Hornpipe #13: Joe Cooley's
edit - sound problems are fixed now.
I recorded this yesterday, and thought I was all done, but didn't have time to pull the files off the camera... then I went back and listened to it. And recorded a new set this evening.
Last weekend was a vastly entertaining weekend, but the list of things to accomplish didn't get a whole heck of a lot shorter. Herr Husband was at Anime Boston selling his comics, and had a fantastic weekend, but he was only home between approx midnight and 9am. Added to the chaos were friends from out of state (yes, 5 of them!) who were also selling at the convention, and staying with us. Also gone all day, but there was still basic houseguest-support to be done. (As well as a fantastic Scottish dance party Saturday night... still working on that, I may have a media-upload before too long.) They all came home when the con ended on Sunday afternoon and had burgers in the back yard. This is relevant because they got home at 5:35, and my last/best recording was at about 5:20, when I knew they'd be arriving any time. I knew it was pretty decent, note-wise. When I listened to it today, I discovered that I was rushing the bejeezus out of it. Just the B part, really. But terribly so. So much that it's kind of hilarious. A mix of "are these the notes I want? better just play them faster" and "holy crap I've got to get this done before 7 hungry cartoonists show up".
No, that is not what I'm posting. Here's the one I recorded today (on my way out the door to dancing - life does not stop these days!!)
Paddy O'Brien wrote this tune, and Joe Cooley adopted it. I guess Cooley's version won, because his is the name that's attached to it now.
