I think the slow intro is actually the opening bars from a Carolan tune called Sí Bheag Sí Mhór, which describes a converstation between two mountains in County Sligo.
@greeneyefull It's obvious what you were tryin to say, think some people intentionally misunderstood, but you should have worded it like this to avoid confusion:
"Man, being from the US, I always knew Billy as a comedian, not a musician. Damn he is good on a banjo."
Brilliant footage! - Id like to say Scotlands second bard, but would be crucified for that, so - lest to say - all Billy does pretty much cheers my wee heart.
@HARLEYBOY33 Eamon De Valera was from Brooklyn! (NYC at the least) I suppose 2 out of the 3 men I mentioned previously were dead before the formation of the U.S. and Beethoven was German... who needs fact checking, anyway...
I can identify 2 Carolan's pieces-Sí Bhéag Sí Mhór, Lord Inchiquinn - think the third piece is a Carolan's one as well but I'm not 100% sure. Fecking class piece of footage though!!!
The last tune is called "Nancy" by Tom Clough
