N:"The Shaskeen Hornpipe" appears as a reel "Sheskan Reel", in Grier's collection but
N:it plays better as a hornpipe. The title is thought to have come from the name of a
N:rive in neighbouring Co. Longford, a tributary of the Inny near Ballymahon. Both of
N:these tunes, together with many other rare tunes from the Drier and Sutherland
N:collections from South Leitrim, can be heard on the excellent CD "Leitrim's Hidden
N:Treasure", recorded by the very talented McNamara Family form Carrickavoher,
N:Aughavas, Co. Leitrim, published by Drumlin Records in 1998.
