| Comment: |
Finbar accompanys himself on the Uilleann pipes, but the instrumentals can also be played on a C diatonic harp. He wrote it for Danny O'Flaherty of Connemara who often used to sit and talk of the hunting of the basking shark and the anxiety of the womenfolk waiting for the return of their men from the sea.(from the album The Wind and the Rain.) . |
