Liam Ó Maonlaí meets Charlie Lennon.

I was asked to record this tune so here it is, only a few days late.  I've always just known this tune from afar so if it sounds like I'm a bit unfamiliar with its finer points (like the notes and stuff like that) then that's probably just because I am.Like most of CL's tunes, it's a fine piece of music and might be strong enough to emerge intact from my mangling.
