Subject: Tune Add: a new old song for March 17th
Recently I bought an old book of Tin Pan Alley songs, and in it was a charming piece called 'When I'm Dreaming of Erin, I'm Dreaming of You.'
Here's the data;
Music composed by Leo Friedman
Published in 1912 by the Marvin Lee Co., Chicago
Lyrics (by George Somebody)are drivel, and I'm avoiding them, otherwise they'll stick in my brain.
Clearly in the public domain by now.
In the key of C with easy chords, except for the chromatic measures 17 and 19. Just let the melody players show off while you pluck your D string.

Not an Irish song, you say? I don't care, actually. It's a charming tune and will brighten somebody's day.
I'm sending the MIDI in for posting, and it should appear soon. I have added an overly-simple bass line to help with figuring out the chords.
