Reels 2nd reel is The Baltimore Salute by Josie McDermott

Recorded By Ty Ford
Esther learned these tunes from Laura Byrne. I'll get back to you about the name of the first tune because I don't know what it's called.

Regarding The Baltimore Salute Laura wrote in the Sessions.org...
The story I got from Billy (McComiskey) and some of the other local musicians here in Baltimore is that Josie came to Baltimore years ago (in the eighties maybe), played at one of the local pubs (which is no longer in existence) and had such a great time that he handed Billy a piece of paper upon leaving and on it was this tune. Billy also recorded it with me on my CD along with Donna Long on piano, who I believe also may have met Josie on that visit to Baltimore. It's since become one of our local favorites!
