Rip the Calico [Reel] - Tune of the Month with Shannon Heaton

Here’s a medium-deep dive on the wonderful old tune “Rip the Calico” AKA Tear the Calico, AKA Fair Wind. I play the tune in G and D and investigate a few different versions of the tune, starting with its appearance as tune #1255 in O’Neill’s Music of Ireland [1850 Melodies, published in 1903].
