favorite tunes

I find once learning a tune and mastering it, i move on to the next new challenge. Whilst learning this new tune i go over some of the older one’s i’ve mastered, to keep them alive and well. However the more tunes i l put towards my repertoire the harder it is to remember to play the ones that i learned way back. They seem to be forgotten until i hear them again from some other source. And it takes a while to get them mastered again.
There are of coarse my favorites which are never forgotten, because i just love to play them.

My question is what are YOUR favorite tunes to play, i mean the one’s you never forget, and are always a joy for you to play???

It will be an interesting way of learning new favorites

thank’s

I really love the Monaghan Jig. It’s such a malleable tune that lets you find new ways to play it all the time. Mary Bergin’s version is a great example of finding new twists to it.

I also really like Freize Breeches.

“Cooley’s reel” is probably my favorite tune and I’m always playing it and finding new variations.
I also like very much “Kid On The Mountain”, “Gravel Walk”, “Bag Of Spuds”, “The Glasgow reel”, “Morrison’s jig” and some others :smiley:
