wrote that the title stemmed from the 18th century

Blackwater between Limerick and Cork City) was a
well-known spa and known as the “Irish Bath” [the
city of Bath, in England, was famous as a spa].
ABOUT THESE RECORDINGS: In an earlier life, when I was involved in playing folk and bluegrass music; with the help of Rick Townend and a few other musicians I recorded a set of 7 CDs with more than 70 tracks of acoustic recordings of well know bluegrass, old-time and folk tunes, these were intended as helpers for musicians to learn these tunes. They are played in easy keys, and at slowish / moderate speed so that new players can keep up. They have also been found useful as music for country dance such as Appalachian clogging where slowish versions are needed. All music copyright© Rod Smith all right reserved.
When originally released, these were known as the “Just The Tune Series” and also included tablature for the tunes for guitar banjo, mandolin etc. I am also looking for some way to make these tabs available for download in PDF format.
