Irish bagpipes solo, Decca W4681. The light speed tempo of Drops of Brandy makes sense when Leo goes into his charming version of Barney Brannigan, which is more complex than the book setting generally played, with its characteristic trio of dotted quarter notes at the opening of the third part. Leo fills out these notes melodically instead. He was recorded by Ciaran MacMathuna in the 60s, and played Barney B and the Drops of B with fiddler Larry Redican, resulting in less-than-perfect synchronization!
