Day 176 Miss Monaghan - 365 Days of Irish Tenor Banjo Tunes

The porch couch is back! Every summer for the last 3 years we have been taking the old couch from my wife’s classroom and putting it on the porch. One of my favourite things to do is to sit out there in the evening and play banjo. Now since I have been doing this tune a day challenge I have a way bigger repertoire and it’s even more fun.
Anyway todays tune is a reel called Miss Monaghan. I like it except this really weird abrupt transition between bars 4 and 5. I would love to hear from others what they think of that part and if they do anything to make it sound better.
These daily postings are my way of trying to get better at Irish Tenor Banjo. I have challenged myself to play a new tune each day out of the Banjo Buddy’s Big Book of 365 Irish Tunes. I post the results each day on KZbin. If you get a copy of the book I would love to have you follow along with me on this journey.
