Begin with Tin Whistle (Count 13 of 3/4 Section)
This dance was written as an intro to the Electric Reel by Robert & Regina Padden. Mix #1 on the Lord of the Dance disk has a very dramatic introduction, followed by 120 counts of 3/4 music, then the Cry of the Celts that we are all familiar with. This dance uses those 120 counts.
