Its the first tune I really learned well on my English COncertina. I put the Altan CD on repeat and just kept on trying. Its such a beautiful tune. Thanks for all the information on it.
We had American visitors down at THe Boat Inn about a month ago. THey came from Maine, so I suggested we played the Ookpik Waltz as it was listed as coming from Maine on Altans CD. The fiddle player was chuffed and said he had taught it to Altan.
We also got one of our singers to sing Isle au Haut, again the visitors were surprised we knew the song, as the island was about 40 miles away from where they lived.
