Try 13/8 sometime. That's a booger!! I just notated out "Sovay" or "Newry Town" which a friend heard me do and said, "Oh, that's in 13/8 and seems to be grouped 1,2,3,4,1,2,3,1,2,3,4,5,6. Seemed to be about right on. That was a rough one to get just right, but I finally figured it out. Just listen and make the tune part of yourself and the timing will come after awhile. I played "Sovay" for years before knowing the timing. Love it and it can be yours!
