Sheebeg Sheemore
Javolenus
Instrumentation: 6-string Adam Black acoustic guitar with Seymour Duncan “Woody” pickup
***
Melody composed by blind Irish harper “Carolan” (1670—1738) and used for his first song, concerning relations between two “fairy” courts—one on Little Fairy Hill (“Sheebeg”) and the other on Big Fairy Hill (“Sheemore”). The beat is 6/4.
***
Dedicated to my old “partner-in-crime” John Andrew Johnson, with whom I used to busk this tune long ago when days were lazier and sunnier.
