Helen,
Fantastic work. I'm letting a pianist/organist friend of mine look at the staves - given I don't sight read.
Just love the archive finds - just the "feel" of the documents brings another time to life, doesn't it?!
"Can yes sew cushions" is available in several versions on you tube (all audibly the same tune) and I can hear similarities in structure and rhythm - but I couldn't hear the exact same tune as clock#3. I've asked my pianist friend for her thoughts.
No version of "Miss Wardlaw's Reel" on you tube, for us play-by-ear types, to listen to - sadly.
