Tune of the Day: Limber Elbow
Traditional Irish reel
This reel is taken from Francis O'Neill's collection Waifs and Strays of Gaelic Melody, published in Chicago in 1922. O'Neill's source for this tune was fiddler Patrick Stack, originally from North Kerry, Ireland, whom he characterized as “a fiddler whose execution was no less admirable than his modesty.”
