  • What is this song called?

  • 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!

  • youre clearly a very talented player but for the life of me i dont understand why nearly everyone on youtube

    wants to play reels and jigs with mandolin at lightning speed,how could you dance to these tunes?slow down

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • love ther sound

  • Excellent!

  • This stuff is for reel

  • what's the name of this tune, I want to learn it on my banjo
