EXTD=
EXTT0=A Rather uncomplimentary title of an old standard jig which we took th
EXTT0=e liberty of trying in a different key. \nIt seems to work well enough
EXTT0=.\nThe reel which follows it is also known as The syncopated reel - Ga
EXTT0=ruentted to throw unwary rythm players in a session.
EXTT1=This song is about human foibles.
EXTT2=An attractive hornpipe popular in Australia, Followed\nby a reel which
EXTT2= is sometimes also known as The Long Note.\n
EXTT3=The air on an old Irish song which translates as The Cause of My Sorro
EXTT3=w. We\ntried to make David learn the words and he said fine as long as
EXTT3= we send him on\nan all expenses paid tour of Ireland to learn the lan
EXTT3=guage and study Sean Nos\nsinging. Maybe next time. The cause of the p
EXTT3=oet's sorrow by the way, was an\nunrequited love. Following the sobs o
EXTT3=f the low whistle we put in a nice reel to\nsew up your wrists to!\n
EXTT4=This is the first song The Fling managed to extract out of me soon aft
EXTT4=er I joined\nthem in February 1994.  The process was a bit like extrac
EXTT4=ting a tooth as my\nconfidence as a song writer was not that great at 
EXTT4=the time.  This song grew\nfrom the undercurrents between two old frie
EXTT4=nds and was inspired by the\nWaterboys.
EXTT5=The late Bernard Moran of Westport, who dies suddenly and tragically e
EXTT5=arlier\nthis year, was a close friend of Ina Kelly.  One of the last t
EXTT5=imes Ormonde and Ina\nmet him was at the foot of Croagh Patrick, known
EXTT5= locally as The Reek, while on\ntheir honeymoon. Ormonde composed this
EXTT5= air not long after the news of his\ndeath and they decided to name it
EXTT5= in his memory.\n
EXTT6=This song was conceived at a Push Humpty rehersal which is the band I 
EXTT6=was in\nprior to The Fling.  I was suffering a particularly bad bout o
EXTT6=f melancholy at this\nrehersal and when singer Dave Wier started playi
EXTT6=ng a very melancholic chordal\npattern on his twelve string it rendere
EXTT6=d me incapable. I went home and wrote the\nlyrics to Miss You around t
EXTT6=hese chords.
EXTT7=Eleanor Plunkett is one of the well known (In Australia at least)\ncom
EXTT7=positions of the Harper Turlough (1670-1738). Written in honour of\non
EXTT7=e of his many patrons, his is said to have been interrupted during the
EXTT7=\ncomposition of the song by the lady's coachman who commented that he
EXTT7= had\nheard the same words used in other of Carolan's songs. The bard 
EXTT7=replied that he\nhad heard as much  as would ever be heard of the song
EXTT7= and left it unfinished.
EXTT8=One of Australia's more significant musical immigrants was John Waylan
EXTT8=d from\nGould cross Co. Tipperary. A renouned player of both the uille
EXTT8=an pipes and\nwarpipes, he founded the cork pipers' club in 1898, the 
EXTT8=first such club in the world\nand was hailed as the Premier Revivalist
EXTT8= of Irish music. In 1912 he left for Perth,\nWestern Australia and eve
EXTT8=ntually settled in Geraldton (500 Km north of Perth)\nwhere he continu
EXTT8=ed teaching and playing music right up to his death in 1954 at\nthe ag
EXTT8=e of 86.  Ormonde had been researching the life of this remarkable man
EXTT8= and\nwe thought it appropriate to pay musical tribute to him.
EXTT9=Two more reels from Co. Clare, this time from the repertone of concert
EXTT9=ina player\nPaddy Murphy. The Fisherman's lilt is a good example of th
EXTT9=ose tunes with half a\ndozen different names and which is related to s
EXTT9=everal other tunes. I would refer\nthe interested reader to Brendan Br
EXTT9=eathnach's Ceol Rince Na H-eireann Vol #1.\nOne interesting connection
EXTT9= he noted was between this tune and The Siege of Ennis.\n
EXTT10=this is a song about weather or pollution. It could be a song about a
EXTT10=\nsitting in parliment but it's not. It's simply about two people try
EXTT10=ing to relate to\neach other at the end of a relationship and the pur
EXTT10=ging of ill feelings.\n
EXTT11=The first tune in this set of reels is one with an enduring quality a
EXTT11=nd a simple\nmelody which, unlike many Irish tunes, does not seem to 
EXTT11=have changed much\ndown the years. A standard tune in the repertoire 
EXTT11=of Australian/Irish musicians,\nthe version commonly played today is 
EXTT11=almost identical to that collected from the\nfiddler James O'neill in
EXTT11= Chicargo in the early years of this century. The Laurel Tree is\none
EXTT11= of the many tunes Ormonde learned from Barry Halpin.  Tommy Peoples 
EXTT11=is\ncalled after the well known Co. Donegal fiddler.
EXTT12=Without doubt the most popular set of Irish tunes to have been perfor
EXTT12=med in Perth\nin recent years. It is rare indeed in Australia for aud
EXTT12=iences to embrace a set of\ntunes so enthusiastically as to request t
EXTT12=he nightly. Reels par Excellence!\n
