Hello again,Just a few thoughts here...not sure how helpful they are...
A quick look-around-the-web turned up this Cape Breton Tour Page with this song listed at the top as a "traditional tune." I don't know exactly what that means. Maybe Dave (the ancient mariner) can tell us if it's traditional in Nova Scotia. If you just want the melody line for a tin whistle or something, find someone with midi software to print it out for you. (My version of Cakewalk won't print the score for me.) Last year I found a nice music store on the 'net which let me search for the music to particular songs. I'll check at home tonight. Remember to let us know if you find something.
