Top Man..well done

The unwritten laws are not followed. Can't even count the number of idiots who claim they're having the craic with me during their highly critical comments. It's something I've learned to simply shrug off. Some people are just pricks.

First one I learned as "John Doherty's" (that's a lot of tunes). Someone called it "maids of castlebar" in the comments. Second one is "The Wise Maid"

Well done and great to hear.
Might we have a clue what a "3-point F4" is?
(My money's on either a military jet or something to drink)

It's just a mandolin model. Gibson made "f4" mandolins in the early 1900s, and they used to have three "points" on the body. They later streamlined them to just 2, so this is an early (1909/1910) one from the days before Gibson had all kinds of success with mandolins, banjos, and guitars behind them!

There're really two traditions these days, dance speed and session speed. This is obviously the latter, though I also like to play the former. When I used to play ceilidhs in Milwaukee, we were often asked to play the reels faster than this for the step dancers!
