This isn't the way most play it, but Tommy was a mad great fiddler and some think he actually wrote the tune, or at least one part of it as it's played today. His playing here makes it a bit more... wild? Jumpy? Not quite, but I'm having trouble thinking of the words.
Anyhow, as I'm used to playing it--it's popular for stepdancing--it's a bit gentler, which does bring out the hypnotic quality.
Well, here's a start
