After the sheet music loads, scroll down and there is a Return in Other Formats.....click MIDI. When the player window comes up, minimize it right quick and you can listen while you watch the sheet music go by. There's even a choice of keys. |

I think "The Goat in the Green" is actually a different tune. (Although the beginnings are almost identical...but the B parts are different.) "The Goat in the Green" is on Paddy Canny's album and I think Martin Hayes has recorded "Gallagher's." (I'll go check that last fact and if it's not right, I'll post a correction here....if someone else doesn't beat me to it!) |
