Spike Island Lasses/Miss Mann's Miraculous Metamorphosis/Providence Reel

Three Irish reels, the middle one written by myself. The first tune, Spike Island Lasses, I got from Mike McGolgrick's CD "Wired". Apparently Spike Island is a prison island in Cork harbour. A prison for male criminals. On a lighter note, the Providence Reel was apparently written by Michael Coleman and Lad O'Beirne as they were on a train from New York to Providence, Rhode Island, to play for a wedding.

You guys are being a bunch of dicks. The violin isn't the easiest instrument to play. I think he's doing great. I'd like to see one of you do better
