Planxty Coolasnaughta/Flower Of Liffey Hall (Instrumental)

Planxty Coolasnaughta/The Flower Of Liffey Hall. [ Inst.] This instrumental is probably the most 'Irish-Sounding' track on this project, and I composed it on my old Gibson Guitar, which, according to Steve Cooney, is the nearest sounding instrument to the Traditional Irish Harp. The PLANXTY is' in-the-style-of' the legendary blind Irish Harpist, Turlough O'Carolan, and is named for Coolasnaughta, which nestles at the foothills of Mount Leinster. The second tune, a kind of a Hornpipe, I composed on PJ O'Neill's Guitar while we were baby-sitting in Newbridge, and is named for Caolinn O'Neill, my Grandaughter, who is truly, The Flower Of Liffey Hall.
