Yay! Such a great song; a soothing Celtic breezy feel to it, so smooth that it doesn't even feel like it's in an odd time signature... But yeah, just make sure you get locked in the 1 and 4 beat pocket, and everything will be fine! Colleen played flute on this song at the Sean O'Sullivan theatre in St. Catharines a couple nights ago, and it sounded just magnificent - great job! Jam on! ~ Alex D.
