Johnny with the queer thing
Sorry, I have absolutely no idea what the title might mean... (Considering the Irish mentality it's probably rather have something to do with drinking than with sex, though ;-)
  The first part is rather similar to the first part of "The Arkansas Traveler". There's probably some kind of connection between the two tunes.

Styggen på låven
This is a combination of two different arrangements. The clarinet and second fiddle comes from an arrangement I made for Lakselv Trekkspillklubb (Lakselv Accordion Society). The solo guitar part was something I had to improvise in a tight spot once. You see, me and my choir had this nice little singalong around a camp fire, and then suddenly some of them wnted to dance! It actually came out pretty well, don't you think?
  Nowadays I usually play this tune on the blues harmonica(!) anyway.

More than a little inspired by Steeleye Span's version of the song.
  I originally wrote this arrangement for my "pub duo", Roar & Frank. Then I relabelled the vocal parts "violin 1" and "flute" and added a couple of more parts to turn it into a folkband arrangement.

This was the first strathspey I arranged. I was really nervous about that, since I didn't feel I knew enough about that rhythm. Phil Taylor said it was OK, though, and he should know.
