AKA the Teetotaler's, this is a fairly common tune in a variety of genres. This arrangement is from Simon Mayer's "New Celtic Mandolin" book and CD (although he plays it a good bit faster...) As usual, I'm playing this on my Collings MT, for the Song A Week group at Mandolin Cafe.

I play this tune on a goldtone GM-110, a Rigel clone, running it through a Roland Cube guitar amp. This was "inspired" by a posting of Thin Lizzy's "Parisienne Walkways" on Song A Week.
