Subject: RE: Origins: Follow me up to Carlow
I don't know what's wrong with the piece in the DT. Could be it, could be my computer. However, I work with MIDI's all the time and have never seen this problem before. Oh, well.

Thanks for the link, Allen. It is the same tune I learned in high school. I think it was a dance tune before someone used it for the poem "Follow me up to Carlow." It just sounds like a dance tune, with a low A and a high B part, and a short shift from minor to major at the begging of the B part. Dance tunes do this all the time.
