My Old Clay Pipe, the Cow With One Horn

About this film

Flute solo, Ed Geoghegan - piano, New Republic 2334. A slip jig followed by a double jig, a device also used on 78s by piper Patsy Touhey and Leitrim flutist John McKenna. I've never come across the first tune in print; it is a very nice old fashioned melody, which Morrison uses his full arsenal of techniques on, blending the first and second octaves by slacking his breath, and using double cut rolls on the high G, which was also a favorite technique of Touhey's - Morrison was also a piper, and friend of Touhey's fellow piper Michael Carney. I believe the second tune has a more commonly applied title but aren't sure what it is.
