Morgan Magan - O'Carolan

I always loved how Duck Baker did this tune. I found it almost impossible to play it like he does on his "Kid on the Mountain" album, but his arrangement is really nice and fun, though challenging(!) to play. I had to slow it down considerably to hit hit every note. However, it needs speed to get the lilt right.

Here's Richard Royal (Duck) Baker's wonderful version....https://youtu.be/NzXfcCEc6rA

I saw Duck play at the Ashland Coffee & Tea (above Richmond, VA, where I used to live) in 2004. He's a Richmond native, but had lived in England for some time I believe.


It's raining cats & dogs outside. Been wet for 2 solid weeks here in NC & VA. Everything's turning green with moss and mold.

Nicely done, Bill, on a challenging piece! BTW - We're waterlogged down here in North Georgia, too. I can't remember the last time we got so much rain in the fall!

Bill, Way to stretch yourself with such a complicated and difficult piece of music. Well done ! Bud

Nice work, Bill. I'll be happy to take some of that rain off your hands here in California.
