Ben's Birthday

Slide · 12/8 · G major

Ben's Birthday is a traditional Irish slide set in the key of G major. Driven by a lively 12/8 meter, it features the bouncy, flowing rhythm characteristic of the slip jig and slide repertoire. Because its composer and early history are not reliably documented, the tune is best known through modern traditional session playing and regional style interpretations.
