Dr. Wade has provided a wonderful variety of tunes in this book, as well as great information on how to play Irish ornaments that is very accessible to those of us who do not have a background in Irish music. This is both a great companion volume to the first book, and an excellent standalone volume. The more I work with it, the more I want to learn about playing Irish music on my HD! If you don’t have the first book, you will certainly want it after seeing this one. Also, the PDF version has links from the table of contents to each of the tunes, which is a very nice feature if electronic books are your jam. I have found that the links in the table of contents work very well in Forscore. Whichever format you prefer for music books, don’t miss this one if you love Irish music, I am glad that I didn’t!
