Hi,
from the playing of piper John O’Brien I have the following reel. Right now, I call it “JOB’s No 15” (because it is track 15 on my MD player). Maybe someone can enlighten me what the real name is. The tunefinder search option didn’t find this one. (CAUTION: My ABC skills are small)
Reel in D

Thanks
Are you really sure it isn’t a hornpipe? 
Come to think of it, it would qualify for a hornpipe as well. John surely played it at a brisk tempo, the tune sounded absolutely reel-ish to me. But telling from your smiley, Peter, I might be making a complete idiot of myself. If so, just tell me and leave it at that. 
I tried playing it from the ABC but it strikes me structurally as a hornpipe can’t fathom it as a reel. Other than that it sounds familiar, just let me stew on it.
I wouldn’t dispute its reelishness - the first part has echoes of The Merry Blacksmith that come through in bars 1 and 4 particularly, and even in the first couple of bars of the turn.
Hello
When I lilt this tune in my head I seem to hear harry Bradley’s flute playing. Did he record it I wonder?
