Subject: RE: Seagull cry
Argh! I could have sworn I searched the forum a few days ago. Anyway I think my transcription is better, though it may not be perfect (English is not my native language). The McCalmans' LP supplies no notes, the label just says trad. arr. the McCalmans, and in the spoken introduction (it's a live LP) Ian McCalman says it's a song from the Hebrides. I'll have a go at the ABC for the tune, but the rhytm is a bit tricky.
