Thread Name: Lyr Add: Daniel O'Connell and His Steam Engine
Subject: RE: Daniel O'Connell & His Steam Engine
I don't know how Haste to the Wedding was put in the DT; I looked over the series of Ir-Trad-L messages and several people refer to the tune as Larry O'Gaff (#128 in O'Neill's collection). and it is sometimes called "Daniel O'Connell". Leeder, perhaps you can arrange with Joe Offer or MMario and send in a scan or photocopy of Abbot's version from E Fowke's book so an abc & midi can be made from it. Meanwhile here is what I found at ir-Trad L.
