I used to listen to this one when I was kid, and didn't hear it done the traditionally Irish way until much later. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSzFvMUasLA
At first I thought this was a banjo. And it doesn't quite sound like a lute, nor does it look to be strung like one. What is the instrument?
Looks like it's double-strung, like a mandolin.

Thanks for sharing that, Tex. What a different presentation! But still beautiful.
