I wrote this slide in honour of my father’s hard work installing a new bathroom in the family home, and to commemorate the first successful “flush” after the plumbing was turned back on! More than any other tune type, slides are the type I have composed the most of. I guess growing up playing for set dancers, slides are in my bones! A simple type of tune on the surface, it can be deceptively difficult to get the swing right, and they are often heard played as fast jigs instead.

It can be found on my latest album “Donnelly’s Arm”.
