Ernie, please send me the .wav file (my e-dress is in the members section).

And since you're still on board with the "different canvases" idea, here is a variation of the tune and tempo of the one I posted earlier.

Haul Away For Barry - more up-tempo

The tune is less important to this variation than the rhythm. It should be done with a bodhran or some drum like that.   (But clapping can work if no one has one.) The idea is to get a strong rhythm going and belt it out (but I'm incapable of belting). You can get the idea from the video* though.

The altered phrasing and rhythm is what popped into my head in the middle of the night and inspired me to re-do my earlier tune.
