	A medley of two Irish tunes, Gilderoy's Reel and The Red Haired Boy, one in a minor key and the other in a major. The song takes off into a Vivaldi-esque string duet between mandolin and violin, punctuated by tambourine, then is rejoined by the rhythm guitar in a frenetic finale that comes in for a fast landing. Katie, bar the door!

	Story Behind the Song The mixing of the baroque-style contrapuntal duet into a traditional folk song format was a spontaneous decision by the two lead musicians, who enjoyed jamming on the chords so much that they wrote their improvisations into the piece. To heck with tradition.
