What is the earliest publication of the mixolydian melody "The Red Haired Boy" (AKA: "Gilderoy" or "Little Beggarman")? I find "The Beggarman" in Edward Bunting's _A Collection of the Ancient Music of Ireland_ (1840), but Bunting's melody is so different from the one played today I hardly recognize it. Thanks, -Adam Miller
