The (Sad) Flower of Magherally

I've not played much guitar recently.
Having completed the house move there's been a lot to do in settling in properly. Plus I've lost half an hour a day in extra commuting time.
The electric guitars are in storage but the acoustics are littered around and taking up most of the space in my small hobby-room.
I've managed one successful acoustic recording since the move - a traditional tune called the Flower of Magherally, which I've spun a bit into my own interpretation. The song that goes with the tune is one of love, but I seem to have added a tragic quality to it all. Just the way it wanted played when I started trying it out. So I've added "(Sad)" to the title.
I like the way this style of music lends itself to some improvisation and re-interpretation - a bit in common with blues.
