Subject: RE: Tune Add: Missing Tunes Wanted - Part III
I had a quick look at the Mudcat midi site the other day, and some midis seem to have snuck in for missing tunes. Have they been there for ever, and did they just appear recently without anybody noticing? Here are the results of a quick trawl, but I'm sure there could be others.
561 CAMBOURNE HILL
678 COLIN AND PHOEBE - couldn't download the midi to check.
845 DESERTER - there are two midis called The Deserter From Kent. They both fit the words given in DT. The song says he came from the west of Kent, and later that he was taken to "Maystone Jail". Maidstone is the county town of Kent, and still has a prison, I believe. So is this a match or not?
885 AN DO/RD FIANNA:, - midi is called O/ro/ se/ do bheatha 'bhaile
1257 GAMBLER, 1258 THE GAMBLER (2), 1259 THE GAMBLER (3), - couldn't download the midi to check which (if any) of these three it fits.
1321 GLENCOE - midi is titled Rape of Glencoe
1774 IN THE OLD BAZAAR IN CAIRO - a full length, multi-track version
2507 NOBLEMAN'S WEDDING
2514 THE NORTHERN LIGHTS OF OLD ABERDEEN - the tune has a 4-line chorus, the DT text has three. I think the third line is missing from DT.
2537 O'REILLY AND THE BIG MCNEILL
2599 THE OLD FISH SONG
3024 ROW-DOW-DOW
3240 THE SOUTH COAST
3269 A STOR MO CHROI
3699 WHEN FATHER PAPERED THE PARLOUR - chorus only
