I fell in love with this Thurlow O'Carolan harp tune when Ray and I had our tuna boat "Miss Sushi." I would stick a tape of it in the boombox everytime we headed out on a trip. The air was so full of promise then. We would leave the Kennebec and pass by Seguin Light. Then I would have to rewind the tape while Ray set our waypoints for the tuna grounds. That was many years ago, but I still play the tape. There is a certain rolling to the tune that just fit the ride of an old wooden boat.I have recently been trying to learn this tune on my guitar, but can't seem to get the same rolling effect that comes though on the many tapes I have of this tune now. Does anyone have the guitar tablature or sheet music for Si Bheag Si Mhor? I realize this is going to be a big challenge for me to get this right. I need all the help I can get.
Ray has passed away and "Miss Sushi" is gone, but the tune remains imbedded in my heart. I think of them both whenever I here this tune.
