Is this harmonies or is it just print back to front 😅
The 2 parts of this tune are often reversed.
I first knew this tune as Kaliope House, spelled this way on The Waterboys album, Room To Roam (and a best of compilation). It’s on the end of the song A Man Is In Love. Later I found it on an Alasdair Fraser album, I forget which, but YouTube is your friend. Prepping it last week for my guitar, mandolin, and tenor banjo students made me think, “PIPES!”, so I asked a piper friend and of course he knew of it. Funny how some tunes suggest an instrument.
