Lesson 38. The Ash Plant This is a short reel, with 16 bars. It's in the key of E Minor, with two sharps in the key signature, which means it's in the E Dorian mode. Tony sometimes refers to this as the "Irish Minor", and many Irish minor tunes use a Dorian mode. PlayPause Gerry GaffneyLesson 38. The Ash Plant02.28.2009
