Sub-subject: Hello to John Moulden (perhaps through Martin Ryan?)

Hello John,

I was browsing through the forum discussion on The Flower of Magherally (one of my favourite songs) when I was pleasantly surprised to see your name.

I wonder if you remember me?
I'm an old friend of Robbie Haldane (and also Len Graham & co.). I used to play in sessions (in Portrush, the Crosskeys, etc.) & occasional concerts with Robbie in the late 1970s.
I also played in the group called "Drumlin" (founded by Robbie & myself). In addition to the usual repertoire, we played a lot of harp tunes & airs (which I played on a "chord harp-zither", as well as finger-picking them on guitar).

Robbie now lives in the USA (in upstate New York), and I live in Marseille.

I might get back in touch with you about a few musical things.
The last time I met you - God knows where, a long time ago - we had a brief conversation about the problems of transcribing the staff notation together with the words, using computer software - however, such things have been simplified a lot since those days!

Are you working on any books or collections at the minute?
And what transcription/notation software, if any, do you use?

Please write back to me directly at cavana.peter@wanadoo.fr

Best regards,

Peter McCavana
