- Check Your Balance
- Sound Cloud:
- Description:
- The wonderful young fiddle player Devin Shepherd, from Chicago, composed this tune and gave it to me for this collection. Lovely music, Devin. He gives us the tune's history: 'My idea with this tune was to compose something that sounded truly traditional. Therefore, I was delighted when the Cork fiddle player John Daly, who lived in Chicago for many years, commented that this tune was "like one the old guys would play back home"'.
