Its called the Long note.
Title of the second tune is “Forget Me Not”: I believe it is usually played in the key of “C” (for all you fiddlers out there, it’s quite nice in this slightly “darker “ key). From the Larry Redican tunes I’ve seen, he seemed quite fond of less common keys like “C” and “F”, but most players nowadays tend to transpose these tunes up to the more sociable keys of “D” and “G”.
