John Kelly's

Slide · 12/8 · D major

John Kelly's is an Irish slide traditionally played in the 12/8 meter and set in the key of D major. Because its specific composer and early history are not definitively documented, it is best understood as a traditional tune passed down through oral and regional performance practices. The tune is characterized by its lively, rhythmic bounce that suits the rapid foot-tapping style typical of traditional Irish slide dancing.
