brioc,

Have you heard the tune on this CD? More importantly, do you have it on a CD? (she says, hopefully) or on tape?

Now for the technological questions: if it's on CD, do you have a CD-ROM drive in your computer, or access to one? If yes, then you could copy the track and send it as a file to me or someone else here so that we can listen to it.

If it's on tape that's harder, but not impossible.

What instrument do you play, or do you sing, or both? Does anyone else in your band play a Midi-capable instrument, i.e. an instrument which can be plugged into a computer/synthesiser set-up so that you can record the tune and send us the file?

Do you ever join the Mudcat sessions on PalTalk? Do you have a microphone connected to your computer, or know someone who has it? If you are too far away from other Mudcatters to phone, then PalTalk allows people to talk, sing, or play instruments into the computer.

If PalTalk is too daunting, but you have (or have access to) a computer with a microphone (mine came with a headset for use with those speak-&-type software packages, i.e. speak and your word processor types the words) then you could sing it into the microphone and record it with a sound programme.

This is so frustrating. I can't afford to phone you from Australia, but I'm getting seriously tempted!

On another note, I *am* glad it isn't Wild Rover because I was starting to feel like a complete idiot, looking for something exotic, and ignoring the obvious.

It's not a tune added to the end of the Wild Rover track, as part of a medley, is it?
