Subject: Si Bheag Si Mhor Guitar Tablature
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.
