From: GUEST,Jack Campin Date: 09 Aug 24 - 08:49 PM: "Ashokan Farewell" was published by Mel Bay on 1 January 1983. Must have made Ungar a fair bit in that form, before the Civil War royalties started rolling in.

From: GUEST Date: 10 Aug 24 - 08:19 PM; It was played in Edinburgh sessions long before the Civil War series came out. Those session players got it on paper from the Scots Music Group (SMG) of the Gorgie-Dalry Adult Learning Project (ALP). A lot of those players are still reading it from their books having not managed to memorize it in nearly 40 years.

So now we know! That's where Jay Ungar gained those lucrative early royalties from - the Scots Music Group of the Gorgie-Dalry Adult Learning Project! But did they not recognise that it wasn't actually a Scots tune?

Many folk musicians are poorly rewarded financially for their work. I am therefore very pleased to learn that Jay Ungar has earned both respect and financial rewards for all his efforts to preserve and promote folk arts.
