We've had peoples favorite finishing off song so I thought it would be good for us musicians to have a crack at it as well.

My favorite finishing off tune is one called 'Masons Apron' or 'Trip to Winsor'(both Irish, both sound best in A and both are reels!!!)

They are such happy tunes that just make you get up and dance. And they just seem always to reach a frenzie by the end GREAT!!

What are your favorite finishing off tunes?

Bye, Sam

We ended with a combination of singing and playing Whiskey Before Breakfast.
And I'd post some of the words for you, but I just checked on something at that blasted HamsterDance page and I can't get the silly tune out of my head! Truly.
Blessings,
Barbara

Lord preserve us and protect us! We've been drinkin' whisky for (or is it before?) breakfast

Those are the only words I've heard. we pair it up with Stan Rogers "Athens Queen" which works well.

There's the obvious slow stuff: Ashokan's Farewell, Lord Injuquin (sp?)

By the way I posted this thread as Sam Pirt now I'm known as Sam P.

I think the Ashloken farwell is an excellent choice!
