Drowsy Maggie

“Drowsy Maggie” is one of the most famous reel in Irish Traditional Music. It is a great little tune and I only started playing again recently. This version is quite standard, but there is also a wonderful three part versions going around, which is associated with the great accordion Joe Cooley. I will try to post it soon.

Watch the video of the basic version below!
