Trying to find the name of the two tunes at the end of Ron Kavana's version of John Barleycorn... off his CD Homefires I think...

Unfortunately his web presence is woefully under-represented...

Anybody suss this info out for me??

The first one has a strong resemblance to 42nd Highlander's Farewell, and I know I know the 2nd one--I'll just have to listen more.........shit, this drives me crazy!

The first tune is entitled The Ballydesmond Polka #3. The second is entitled the Wren's Polka (Ron Kavana plays it in G but it's usually played in A). Both are very common and widely available. Hope that helps.
