Wise Maid [Reel] - Tune of the Month with Shannon Heaton

Here's the well-known D Major reel “Wise Maid.” I played it in the kitchen with Matt, and then broke it down phrase by phrase. As always, I’m playing this on my Patrick Olwell Pratten-style flute.

Great tutorial. What a grand idea it is to sing each phrase. It's a terrific way to get a tune inside your head. Really enjoying these.

I’m part Irish ☘️ we are really small medium size people. Keep playing that flute and guitar 🎸

Ha ! That’s one of those you hear regularly but are never sure what it’s called. Great great session tune .

Brilliant . Just trying to learn this on my mandolin . The A part is ok, but the B part is really confusing. Your singing along really helped me . Thank you

Great lesson, thank you Shannon, your playing is brilliant! Any chance of the reel Tim Maloney? John Sheehan of the Dubliners does a great version on the Eb tin whistle.
