Subject: RE: Help: Unusual Devon songs
Bob,

The two tunes (Margaret's Waltz & Farewell to Devon) are on a photocopied page of what looks like a dance music book. It's the right hand page and has the word "SET" in large handwritten letters in the left-top of the page, as if the title of the type of dance set is printed across the two facing pages. The song titles are hand lettered too, and the music looks handdrawn. The layout and fonts look really familiar to me, but it's not the Blue Book and not Begged, Borrowed or Stolen.

I can scan it and send it to you if you don't recognise the description because it would probably help a lot if we knew which book it is in.

Here is the MidiText file if anyone is interested.
