"The Burnt Old Man" is in just about every "local" session book I've seen, occasionally cross-titled as "The Burdened Old Man." About the only "commercial" printing I know of is in The Portland Collection: Contra Dance Music in the Pacific Northwest, by Susan Songer with Clyde Curley, ISBN 0-9657476-0-3 for the 1st ed. It's apparently a "self-published" thing, but a few people were able to find Susan on the web a year or so ago, and got copies. My book shows Susan Songer at 503-293-1446, or songer@teleport.com for orders, but I can't guarantee those are still good.

I understand that the 2d edition (I have the first, © 1977) has a CD available with a lot of the tunes on it, although I don't know if they're all there.

I got my old copy from Dusty Strings, in Seattle, and it's been about my favorite source for tunes I like to play, since it's got a lot of good dance tunes that the bluegrassers haven't got hold of yet. It's fairly likely they may still carry copies of the new version.

There is another one called the Irish Session Book that includes it, but it's far less common, and I don't have publication data handy.

I believe I included that tune in my "rebuild" of the local session book a few years ago, and I made crude midis of all 806 of the tunes (604 titles with variations); but after about 6 years I finally "broke even" (actual cost recovered plus $0.27 - if you ignore time, blood, sweat, tears and gas carrying it to sessions) so I've cleared all the files. It would take an excavation to find them again.
