Irish Washerwoman - Happy St. Patrick's Day

Rex McGee plays The Irish Washerwoman on the 5 string banjo. This is an Irish Jig which must have gotten played too much at some point because it has acheived status of "not acceptable" for most traditional Irish musicians.

It's tiring hearing this tune bashed so badly by so many. This is a nice change -Very well done and the hammer-on trills show off the proficiency of this palyer.  Again, very well done - and thanks for letting me hear it done properly with feeling.

There is a reason Chestnuts are Chestnuts, right?

Nicely done. If other musicians played it this well, maybe it wouldn't be "off limits" anymore!

Thank you!

Very well played though!

The reason Irish musicians don't play this song is because it's a steriotype at this point. It's like one of us saying "Top of the morning to ya" or "Blarney." We just don't do it. It would be like an American playing Camptown Races while saying "Gee-wilikers this song is the bees knees!"

[DigitalUnderground7]

fucking sensational!
