Toss the Feathers

"Toss the Feathers" is a traditional Irish folk tune, typically played with a tin whistle and fiddle. It has existed in several variations, each in a different key, the two more common being D and E minor. More recently the music has been adapted in over 200 modern compilations, including both traditional versions by individuals like Joe Cooley, Tony MacMahon, Mike "Razz" Russell and groups such as The Chieftains, and rock renditions such as that by The Corrs on their album Forgiven, Not Forgotten.

There is also a radio program from Columbus, Ohio with the namesake which airs 4-6pm (ET) every Saturday. This program is broadcast through WCBE (a local NPR station streamed live for worldwide listening).
