Hendrick’s Reel
The name is a tribute to Hendrick’s Pub in Alphen aan den Rijn, where we used to have a series of lovely Irish music sessions, unfortunately discontinued. I used this tune for a little video. Photo: John Richard.

My grandpa was born next to a water tower, so that’s where the name of this new tune comes from. Did you know we have a water tower in Holland that looks like the ancient Irish round towers built near monasteries like Glendalough? And here’s…
This new tune was named after my guess of the time when there will be just a few human languages left in the world. As human contact gets easier, more and more people speak the a few common languages. Let’s not worry too much about how the world looks…
